This year, with a shorter holiday, Jeonnam Provincial Police will make an all-out effort to respond to a surge in public security needs expected to be concentrated around holiday travel and gatherings of families and relatives over a brief period.

First, the agency will strengthen visible patrols and prevention activities focused on crime-prone areas, including high-risk or repeatedly reported locations, as well as neighborhoods densely populated with foreigners or single-person households.

During the holidays, the police will maintain a “112 All-Out Response” system regardless of jurisdiction, aiming to prevent safety accidents at major event venues and multi-use facilities and to respond quickly on the ground should emergencies arise.

The police will also enhance preemptive checks on those under supervision for relational crimes, such as domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking, while bolstering protection for victims. They will also carry out intensive crackdowns and visible criminal investigations targeting robbery, theft, and violence around daily life spaces, with the goal of preventing crimes during the holiday period.

Traffic management for holiday travel both to and from hometowns will also be strengthened.

Step-by-step traffic management will be implemented in congested areas such as large supermarkets and major routes for Chuseok travel, alongside guidance and enforcement against major violations such as drunk driving.

Kim Hoseung, Commissioner of the Jeonnam Provincial Police Agency, stated, “We will focus the full capabilities of Jeonnam Provincial Police during the Chuseok holiday period to ensure all residents and visitors traveling home can enjoy a safe and peaceful holiday.”
