Hwaseong West Police Precinct Holds Public Safety Meeting at Local Sites

Hwaseong West Police Precinct (Precinct Chief Oh Dong-uk) held a 'mobile field meeting to establish public safety and law and order' on the morning of the 16th at the conference room on the second floor of the Songsan-myeon Community Center.

About 50 people attended the meeting, including Precinct Chief Oh Dong-uk, police officers from Songsan Police Substation, the head of Songsan-myeon, and heads of natural villages. The roughly one-hour session took the form of police offering encouragement and recognition for cooperative policing efforts throughout the year, introducing police activities such as eradicating the four major social evils and establishing public safety and law and order during the year-end and New Year periods, while fielding questions from village heads and residents about their concerns and difficulties, with the precinct chief providing answers.

At the event, Precinct Chief Oh Dong-uk expressed encouragement for the year's cooperative policing efforts by the natural village heads, saying "empathetic policing that meets residents' expectations is urgently needed," and pledged, "Going forward, we will hold regular field meetings once a month at each police substation to conduct empathetic policing activities through direct dialogue with local residents."

Meanwhile, in the Hwaseong area, village head meetings are held once a month at community centers by eup, myeon, and dong units. Under the policy of utilizing these as channels for gathering diverse opinions from local residents, Hwaseong West Police Precinct is promoting field meetings by coordinating in advance with the organizing body to naturally link them with the village head meetings.
