Gyeongnam Police to Deploy Drones at Beaches ... All-Out Effort for Crime Prevention and Missing Person Searches

The Metropolitan Crime Prevention Patrol Unit of the Gyeongnam Provincial Police Agency is deploying drones at major beaches in the province ahead of the peak summer vacation and school holiday season, in an effort to prevent various crimes and enhance situation response capabilities.

On July 14, the Provincial Police Agency announced that it will collaborate with local governments to intensively deploy the patrol unit's drone team at key vacation spots, such as Gwangam Beach in Changwon and Gujora Beach in Geoje.

The drone team plans to fly drones to prevent acts that disrupt public order—such as theft and sex crimes—that frequently occur during the summer at beaches. The team will also focus on patrolling areas that are crime-prone and safety blind spots, which are difficult to monitor with the naked eye.

Additionally, efforts will be concentrated on improving the public's sense of safety by searching for missing persons, as well as transmitting close-range voice guidance for crime prevention and safety.

Chief Kim Jongcheol stated, "Through crime prevention activities utilizing drones, we will eliminate security blind spots and create a safe environment so that citizens and tourists visiting summer resorts in the province can have peace of mind."
