One year after the Itaewon accident, police personnel safety management measures = South Korea

On the 7th of this month, the ``Seoul World Fireworks Festival'' was held at Hangang Park in Yeouido, South Korea. Police controlled traffic and ensured that there were sufficient walking paths, allowing the event to end safely. child
In February, when citizens gathered to receive prizes at the ``Haeundae Bexco New Association General Meeting Event Hall,'' the police repeatedly reported (nine times) that there were signs of danger, and quickly deployed career personnel.
The crowd was safely dispersed through joint efforts with the fire department. On the 25th, the police announced the human wave safety management plan that they have been promoting since the Itaewon accident that occurred on October 29th last year.
Last year, the police launched the ``Police Innovation Task Force'' in the wake of the Itaewon accident, and has been developing and promoting human wave safety management plans that can be applied to frontline workplaces.
The police have been pursuing measures in three directions: △ Building a rapid situation management system △ Improving on-site response capabilities △ Improving laws and systems.
First, from January 6th this year, if three or more reports are received within an hour at a certain location (50m radius) nationwide, this will be detected as a repeated report, and preemptive measures will be taken from the reception stage.
We have taken steps to make it possible. The company developed its own system by focusing on the fact that, like in the case of the Itaewon accident, even when multiple similar reports were received from many callers, it was difficult for individual callers to recognize them.
Additionally, multi-purpose riot police units have been organized for each National Police Agency across the country, allowing career personnel to be quickly mobilized in the event of a situation. Appoint the head of the National Police Agency Situation Team in each region from the existing police force, including the police chief, etc.
They have been promoted to positions equivalent to commanders, increasing their professionalism and responsibility. Mutual liaison officers were dispatched to the situation rooms of the National Police Agency and the Fire and Disaster Management Agency to strengthen cooperation with related agencies. Important 112 (police) and 1
19 calls (fire and emergency services) were monitored and information was shared between both agencies. In order to improve on-site response capabilities, the structure has been modified to accommodate medium-sized passenger vehicles equipped with integrated warning lights and broadcast personnel.
A good broadcast lighting vehicle will be introduced. This year, the police are in the process of purchasing 26 medium-sized omnibuses and six broadcast lighting vehicles. In addition, the US Skywatch (equipped with a lift that can go up and down)
We are also moving forward with the introduction of high-altitude observation human wave management equipment that benchmarks the vehicles (vehicles placed in the air). At the same time, we have established a redundant reporting system between commanders, the 112 Situation Room, and related departments, allowing comprehensive judgment of the situation.
I made it possible to do so. In addition, a new provision has been established and enacted to notify local governments when measures are necessary. A police official said, ``The police, as a disaster support organization,
``We are moving towards a way to deal with the situation as quickly as possible,'' and ``We will promote the human wave management manual as an issue that should be stipulated by law.''
