On July 29, the station carried out a joint patrol campaign to prevent school violence and juvenile crime in high-risk areas around Rose Street, in cooperation with the Youth Participatory Public Safety Policy Advisory Group.

This campaign was organized to prevent juvenile delinquency and misbehavior during the summer break and to create a safer environment for youth development. The campaign saw the participation of members from the Women and Youth Division, school police officers (SPOs), and the Youth Participatory Public Safety Policy Advisory Group.

Participants conducted joint patrols, focusing on crowded and high-risk areas frequently visited by teenagers, such as parks and busy downtown districts, and checked for crime-prone factors.

Additionally, they ran campaigns to prevent youth-unfriendly environments such as cyber gambling, drinking, and smoking, and provided guidance and protective support to at-risk youth.

Mokpo Police Station announced that it will continue to strengthen preventive public safety activities so that youth are not exposed to crime or harmful environments during vacation, and that it will expand the community-based youth protection system in cooperation with the local community.

In particular, from July 27 through August 31, which corresponds to the summer vacation period, the station has designated a special youth protection activity period and is carrying out patrols and guidance activities focusing on areas with a high concentration of hazardous businesses and crime-prone zones.

Jang Myeongbon, Chief of Mokpo Police Station, stated, "We will continue to promote activities to prevent school violence and juvenile crime so that young people can grow up healthy in a safe environment," and added, "We will further strengthen preventive security activities in cooperation with the community and do our utmost to protect at-risk youth going forward."
