Calls to strengthen safety on school routes and in alleys... Jeju autonomous police review improvement plans

【Financial News Jeju = Jeong Yong-bok】 Jeju residents called on the autonomous police to improve pedestrian conditions on school routes and in areas with dense concentrations of shops, step up patrols in residential alleys and expand security facilities. The Autonomous Police Commission plans to review residents’ requests with relevant departments and develop improvement measures.
The Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Autonomous Police Commission said on the 21st that it held the ‘Fourth On-Site Communication Day of 2026’ on the afternoon of the 20th at the Ido 2-dong Community Center in Jeju City.
Around 40 people attended the event, including residents’ autonomy committee members such as Kang Cheol-ho, chair of the Ido 2-dong Residents’ Autonomy Council, and Vice Chair Go Bong-jun, as well as officials from the Jeju Provincial Autonomous Police Commission, Jeju Eastern Police Station and Jeju Autonomous Police Corps.
Ido 2-dong is a central neighborhood in Jeju City, with a concentration of administrative agencies, schools and commercial facilities. Residents asked for improved pedestrian conditions on children’s school routes and in areas with dense concentrations of shops, more crime-prevention patrols in residential alleys, and additional safety facilities in areas with inadequate security.

Before hearing residents’ requests, the Autonomous Police Commission, Jeju Eastern Police Station and Jeju Autonomous Police Corps outlined key public safety policies.
In particular, they shared plans to strengthen monitoring and follow-up measures for relationship-related crimes such as stalking and dating violence. They also introduced police activities focused on crime prevention, measures to prevent fatal traffic accidents, and plans to expand the operation of resident autonomous police units.
Specific improvement measures for school routes, expanded patrols and the installation of security facilities requested by residents will be developed after review by the departments responsible.
Park Yeong-bu, chair of the Jeju Provincial Autonomous Police Commission, said, “Nothing is more important than sitting down face-to-face with residents, listening carefully even to the small inconveniences of everyday life, and finding answers.” He added that the commission would continue field-oriented autonomous police administration in cooperation with relevant agencies.
