Dobong-gu Announces Measures to Prevent Indiscriminate Crimes at the Mayors' Meeting of Seoul and Autonomous Districts on the 23rd

Includes Strengthened Measures Such as Proactive Management of Reclusive Cases, Expansion of CCTV, and Safe Return Support

Task Force Organized with Related Agencies, Active Response at the District Level

On the 23rd, Oh Eon-seok, Mayor of Dobong District, attended the 'City and District Mayors' Meeting on Response to Indiscriminate Crimes' and presented and shared Dobong District's proactive intensive management plan for case management of reclusive individuals.

As residents' anxiety has increased due to recent successive 'indiscriminate crimes,' Dobong-gu attended the Seoul City and Autonomous District Mayors' Meeting on the 23rd to discuss response measures, announcing and sharing the district's proactive intensive management plan for reclusive cases on behalf of 25 autonomous districts.

Dobong-gu (Mayor Oh Eon-seok) is the only autonomous district in Seoul currently implementing a 'proactive intensive management and support system for reclusive case subjects.'

This aims to help socially reclusive individuals reintegrate into society and prevent indiscriminate crimes through proactive prevention and management of high-risk cases, which has received positive responses from participants and strong interest from the local community.

The district operates the Dobong Healing School to provide daily life experiences such as grocery shopping, cooking classes, and organizing and storage to individuals with reclusive tendencies, helping them become independent members of society.

Additionally, Dobong Hope Vaccine 23 is run to provide focused education on anger, impulse control, stress management, and relief methods for reclusive individuals with mental illnesses causing local anxiety, such as alcoholism, schizophrenia, and violence. A dedicated mental health case manager is also assigned to quickly respond in crisis situations.

Furthermore, the district is actively strengthening practical preventive measures tailored to its characteristics to ensure residents' safety.

To build crime prevention infrastructure, CCTV is being expanded in mountainous parks and vulnerable safety areas, and the intelligent surveillance system is being enhanced through replacement and expansion of state-of-the-art CCTV.

For the safe return of vulnerable groups such as women, the Women’s Safe Return Paths are being reorganized and expanded, and crime opportunities are preemptively blocked through on-site monitoring by the Alleyway Monitoring Team, a public-private-police cooperative.

Mayor Oh Eon-seok of Dobong-gu stated, “We will implement safety measures tailored to the district’s characteristics against violent crimes such as indiscriminate stabbings to create a living environment where residents can feel safe. Additionally, based on organic cooperation with related agencies such as Seoul City, we will establish a dense social safety net throughout Dobong-gu.”
