Jeju Autonomous Police Launch Future Security Field Experience Program at Hallim High School

Operation of Five Experiential Booths Including AI Drones and Mounted Police Unit

A Community-Based Participatory Safety Education Model

The Jeju Autonomous Police Agency has launched an on-site participatory special security education program for 400 students at Hallim High School, moving away from conventional career guidance that is focused solely on information delivery. The program is designed to allow young people to experience future security technologies and police work firsthand, while reflecting on the value of community.

This program, jointly planned by the Autonomous Police Agency and the school, provided students with opportunities to handle equipment such as patrol cars and police motorcycles directly, as well as to interact with the Mounted Police Unit. This enabled them to gain a multifaceted understanding of the roles within the police organization.

In particular, booths featuring advanced technology such as the artificial intelligence (AI) drone control system and digital forensics received enthusiastic responses from students aspiring to become future police officers.

This kind of "experiential safety education" is regarded as part of "Edu-Tech Security," which aims to overcome the limitations of text-based education and enhance practical response skills in real-life situations. This approach reflects educational analyses suggesting that safety awareness among young people is most effectively internalized when classroom knowledge is combined with hands-on field experience.

Based on his 32 years of field experience, Oh Chung-ik, the head of the Autonomous Police Agency, delivered a lecture on "the direction of life that is more important than a career," sharing the value of failure and challenge. By explaining the roles of the police through real-life examples in a way that resonated with students, he encouraged them to grow as responsible members of the community, delivering a lasting impression.

The Autonomous Police Agency plans to expand this empathy-driven safety program in collaboration with the local community, starting with this case at Hallim High School. By developing customized security content that reflects the needs of school sites, the agency aims to strengthen a youth safety network unique to Jeju.
