The core of his policing policy is "citizen perception."

Chief Park emphasized, "The evaluation of policing activities is ultimately decided in the daily lives of citizens," and added, "I will work with the people of Daegu to create a safe city from their perspective."

He also proposed building a data-driven prevention system to respond to the security needs of each region.

The plan includes analyzing and diagnosing crime-related data to develop crime prevention and response strategies tailored to local characteristics, as well as strengthening cooperation with relevant organizations such as local governments.

Enhancing investigative capabilities and ensuring fairness were also named as key tasks.

Chief Park mentioned that the restructuring of the prosecution would bring changes to the investigative environment and predicted that public expectations would become even higher regarding the capabilities and impartiality of the police.

He urged the faithful implementation of the basic principles of the Police Charter to secure public trust.

Chief Park entered the police force in 1996 as the 44th Police Cadet Class and has served as Chief of the Seoul Metropolitan Police SWAT, Chief of Nowon Police Station in Seoul, and as acting head of the National Police Agency’s International Cooperation Bureau.

With the new chief making crime prevention and on-the-ground policing his top priorities, attention is focused on whether Daegu Police’s capabilities will yield results that citizens can truly feel.
