Jeju Province, 1,543 Participants Across Villages, Coasts and Nighttime Areas... Unifying the Civilian Security Network

[Financial News Jeju = Reporter Jeong Yong-bok] Jeju Province is launching a community security network involving 1,543 participants, ranging from villages, schools and alleyway commercial districts to tourist attractions, Olle trails, coastlines and vulnerable areas at night.
According to the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Autonomous Police Force on the 8th, it is promoting 'Jeju Safety All-Out Response' in conjunction with special safety measures to be implemented through the 27th, bringing together the local community's civilian safety capabilities.
The participating personnel totaled 1,543, including 372 members of the Resident Autonomous Police Corps, 742 members of senior clubs, 361 members of the incorporated association Neungnayoung, 59 private security personnel and 9 private drone operators.
The key lies not in deploying personnel to the same place all at once, but in dividing roles by leveraging the areas where each organization has been active and its respective strengths.
The Resident Autonomous Police Corps and senior clubs monitor safety in residential areas, focusing on villages, schools and alleyway commercial districts. Related private organizations are responsible for tourist attractions, Olle trails and coastal areas.
Private security personnel use existing dispatch networks to inspect vulnerable areas in the city at night. Private drones are deployed to monitor Olle trails and coastlines that are difficult for people to access, conducting checks from the air.
Risk factors discovered on-site do not end with a report. When participants report damaged facilities or safety hazards to Safety e-Report, the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Autonomous Police Force follows up by regularly patrolling areas where recurring risks are a concern.
Joint patrols and safety campaigns by the autonomous police and private organizations will also be conducted regularly. The Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Autonomous Police Force plans to encourage participants and organizations that contribute to accident prevention or the removal of risk factors, enabling civilian safety activities to continue.
The dispatch networks of private security companies will also be linked for nighttime security. The Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Autonomous Police Force plans to establish a cooperative system for nighttime safety management in urban areas by holding working-level consultations with S-1 Corporation, SK Shieldus, KT Telecop Co., Ltd. and others to build a 'Civilian-Police Safe Partnership Network.'
This measure creates a structure in which the autonomous police coordinate the activity areas and roles of existing safety activities by residents and private organizations, connecting the process from reporting through follow-up management. It focuses on dividing areas with different safety needs, such as residential areas, tourist destinations and coastlines, according to the capabilities of each organization.
Taking this all-out response as an opportunity, the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Autonomous Police Force plans to expand the community security network by adding new participating entities and methods in areas where activities are insufficient.
Lee Cheol-woo, head of the Life Safety Division at the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Autonomous Police Force, said, "The key is to connect the people who have been working for local safety throughout Jeju and divide roles so that each person's strengths can be put to use," adding, "We will build a safety network that allows residents and tourists to feel secure."
