Yeong-tong District Inspection and Guidance Campaign on Youth-Hazardous Establishments

Yeong-tong District (District Chief Choi Hee-soon) conducted a youth guidance campaign, patrol of crime-prone areas, and guidance and inspection of youth-hazardous establishments on the afternoon of the 28th of last month at 8:30 p.m. in the Woncheon-dong Community Center, Ajou University, and the surrounding commercial areas of the South Police Station, together with the Crime Prevention Committee (Chairman Byun Young-gwon) and youth guidance volunteers.

Approximately 40 youth guidance volunteers, crime prevention committee members, and Yeong-tong District government employees visited commercial areas around schools including entertainment districts near Ajou University, crime-prone areas, and convenience stores from 8:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. for approximately one and a half hours. They distributed guidance materials on the Youth Protection Act, confirmed whether youth-accessible business stickers were displayed, guided and cracked down on businesses without stickers, and urged store owners to actively participate in ensuring these establishments do not become places where youth go astray.

A district official stated, "Yeong-tong District plans to continuously and periodically inspect youth crime-prone areas and conduct guidance and inspection of youth-hazardous establishments to create an environment where young people can live well," and urged, "Merchants and residents in commercial areas must also show continuous interest and warm support for youth so that a healthy and safe environment can be created for young people to grow up. We ask for your cooperation."
