Gyeongbuk Police Agency, operating a ‘mobile police box’ in areas where public security centers were abolished

The Gyeongbuk Police Agency announced on the 11th that it will operate 'Nubi GO Mobile Police Stations in every corner of Gyeongbuk' to relieve the security anxiety of residents in areas where public security centers have been abolished.

The mobile police station operates as a base in areas where public security centers have been abolished, and also supports initial response when a 112 call is received nearby.

It began operation on the 9th, starting with Bonghwa in the northern region and Gyeongju in the southern region.

The operation will be divided into the northern and southern regions using two police vans, and each region will tour the areas where public security centers have been abolished for one week.

The police plan to visit village halls, senior citizen centers, and senior citizen households living alone to discuss complaints from residents and carry out activities to prevent crimes such as agricultural theft and voice phishing.

A resident of Beopjeon-myeon, Bonghwa-gun said, “I felt empty due to the abolition of the security center, but I am glad and reassured that police cars patrol all over the village and resolve civil complaints.”

The Gyeongbuk Police Agency abolished 31 security centers, including 2 in 2023 and 29 in 2025, considering the demand for public security, the age of buildings, and public opinion of residents.

There are currently 60 public safety centers in operation.

Park Heon-soo, Commissioner General of the Gyeongbuk Police Agency, said, "We will take a step closer to the residents of the province by looking at the performance of the mobile police station operation and public opinion of residents so that residents of areas where public security centers have been abolished are not left out of public security services."
