This agreement was made to improve the lighting in dark alleyways and vulnerable areas in order to prevent crime and alleviate citizens' concerns.

The two organizations agreed to work together to identify dark alleyways and crime-prone blind spots, and to implement Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) in order to promote tangible safety measures.

Through this agreement, the two organizations will cooperate to create a bright and safe city image, eliminate crime-prone blind spots by improving nighttime illumination, and establish a proactive public safety environment. In particular, based on a survey of dark areas, they plan to launch customized illumination improvement projects in earnest within the year.

Lee Kwonjae, Mayor of Osan, said, "In cooperation with the Osan Police Station, we will create a bright city where every citizen can live with peace of mind."
