Choi Kyujin Vows "To Protect Citizens with Robust Social Safety Net"

Choi Kyujin, Saenuri Party preliminary candidate for Suwon mayor, pledged to secure citizen safety through the establishment of a comprehensive social safety net.

Choi visited the Eastern Police Box in Jidong, Paldal-gu, Suwon on the 15th, where he encouraged staff and emphasized his firm commitment to citizen safety.

Choi noted that a total of 36,324 crimes occurred in Suwon last year, averaging over 100 cases daily, putting a red flag on citizen safety amid this unfortunate distinction.

With violent crimes such as homicides surging recently in Suwon, concerns and anxiety among citizens about poor public order and blind spots in crime prevention are growing.

In response, Choi pledged to complete early a 'One-Stop Center for Crime and Violence Prevention Support' to enable swift and integrated response to priority groups for public order such as women and youth.

Choi emphasized, "Our goal is to build a spider web safety net—a comprehensive crime prevention system," and added, "We will make Suwon a safe city and a nationwide model."

He further noted plans to enhance citizen awareness of safety through daily disclosure of a 'Citizen Public Order Safety Index,' and to strengthen safety networks utilizing advanced IT technologies such as CCTV in slum-prone vulnerable areas.
