Gyeonggi Nambu Police to Step Up Patrols Near Academies and School Routes

Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police will launch intensive patrols around schools, private academy districts, and student commuting routes in response to a recent series of violent crimes targeting students. The special security activity is intended to ease anxiety among students and parents while preventing similar crimes. Police plan to focus patrols on areas students regularly pass through, aiming to strengthen visible crime prevention. Because school routes and nearby learning districts are part of students’ daily movement patterns, a stronger police presence may affect the sense of safety. The move reflects an expanded prevention-focused response to reduce security gaps in local education environments. Source: mk.co.kr
