Dobong-gu in Seoul held its 2026 local public safety council meeting at the Dobong Police Station on Oct. 28 to discuss ways to strengthen community safety through cooperation among residents, government agencies and police, the district announced Thursday.

The Dobong-gu Local Public Safety Council is a consultative body in which residents, government agencies and police jointly address local safety issues. District Mayor Kim Dong-wook chairs the council, with Dobong Police Station Chief Yu Mi-suk serving as vice chair. The meeting was attended by representatives from Dobong-gu, the Dobong Police Station, the Dobong-gu District Council, the Dobong Fire Station and private organizations working in youth welfare, safety and crime prevention.

The meeting covered six agenda items across three areas: CCTV integrated control center operations, youth protection and everyday crime prevention.

On CCTV operations, participants discussed ways for the district's integrated control center and police to share information more seamlessly using the national disaster and safety communications network.

On youth protection, the council explored ways to link counseling, education and self-sufficiency support through the existing youth safety network system to better protect young people outside of school.

The district plans to continue working-level consultations with relevant departments and agencies on the agenda items discussed, and will review the steps needed to advance each task in terms of policy and budget.

"Community safety grows stronger when the expertise of each agency is connected with the participation of the community," District Mayor Kim Dong-wook said. "We will continue to work with partner agencies to meet evolving public safety needs and strive to make Dobong a place where residents can live with peace of mind."
