Suwon Gwonseon Police Precinct Opens on September 6

The Gyeonggi Provincial Police Agency announced on the 10th that it will open the Suwon Gwonseon Police Precinct on September 6.

The Suwon Gwonseon Police Precinct, located in Tapdong, Gwonseon-gu, Suwon, within the Gwonseon-gu Administrative Town, will open on a site of approximately 4,500 pyeong with a five-story building and a total floor area of approximately 2,600 pyeong.

The Suwon Gwonseon Police Precinct, a grade 1 precinct (jurisdiction over a population of 300,000 or more), will have 8 departments and 3 police boxes (Maisan, Seoho, and Gosaekhk) with 380 staff members, overseeing Gwonseon-gu and parts of Paldal-gu (Godeung-dong, Maegyo-dong, and Gyo-dong).

Suwon, with a population of approximately 1.07 million, has the largest population among basic local governments, but has faced difficulties in responding to public safety needs with only two police precincts, Suwon Central and Suwon South, operating.
