The Daejeon Metropolitan Police Agency and the Mackiss Company held a ceremony to deliver the 'Now We Are' drug and fraud prevention trademark to eradicate drug crimes and prevent leading investment fraud on Sept. 20.

The ceremony was held in cooperation with the two organizations to actively spread the message of the seriousness of drug crimes that threaten the safety of citizens and the eradication of leading investment fraud.

The Mackiss Company will release and distribute a total of 400,000 bottles of 'Now We Are' soju with the drug prevention message 'Never start drugs, a maze without an exit' and the malicious fraud eradication promotion label 'Beware of leading investment fraud'.

"The Mackiss Company is leading the way in community contribution activities such as spreading public service messages in collaboration with major public institutions, and we will continue to cooperate with the police in their public relations activities," said Kim Ki-ho, head of sales at the company.

"The police are focusing on eradicating drug and leading investment fraud through the promotion of the 'Promise to the People' policy, and we will continue to work to protect the safety of citizens by devising various public relations methods to prevent crime," said Kim Jong-cheol, head of the Daejeon National Police Agency's Public Safety Division.

Daejeon Police plans to do its best to prevent crime by promoting various security measures such as continuous prevention, crackdown, and public relations activities against drug and leading investment fraud that threatens the safety of the public.

Daejeon Police Commissioner Chung visits and inspects the Galma Police Patrol  Unit

Daejeon National Police Commissioner Chung Yong-geun visited the Galma Police Patrol Unit, a main district center being piloted in the Daejeon area, and inspected the current status of the jurisdiction, the implementation of the pilot project, and the improvement of facilities on Sept. 20.

For about two months, from September 18 to November 30, the Galma Police Patrol Unit has been operating as a centralized community center integrated with the neighboring Wolpyeong unit, and the six management personnel of the Wolpyeong unit have been expanded to patrol personnel to conduct visible patrol activities to prevent abnormal synchronized crime in multiple dense areas.

Daejeon Police Chief Chung Yong-geun said, "I am grateful that the field staff are doing their best for a safe Daejeon, despite significant fatigue due to the recent special policing activities to prevent odd-synchronized crimes." 
He encouraged the field staff, saying, "We will actively promote the purpose and effectiveness of the central regional office system to residents, and we will strive to increase the satisfaction of residents' perceived security by strengthening foot patrols with the secured manpower."

Meanwhile, the National Police Agency plans to pilot the centralized community center system in 15 locations nationwide, including Seoul, southern Gyeonggi Province, and six metropolitan police agencies, and then review its effectiveness to decide whether to expand it nationwide.
