The government’s new strategy on public security is “more security, less damage; prevention and surveillance first.” This strategy provides fundamental solutions to the security problem, and the government will implement practices on security and fire control according to the “Municipal Vision: Well-found Equipment, Well-guarded Security and Well-protected Citizens.” The government aims to provide better equipment and technology for the police and firefighters, emphasize training and drills, provide quality services, assess the shock resistance of old buildings, plan fire-prevention zones, set up safe corridors on campus and improve self-defense ability in community in order to provide a worry-free environment for the citizens whose satisfaction with the local security and fire control can be obtained. The government will continue to strengthen and implement practices related to security in order to construct a safe living environment.

Security and fire control related work includes the following:

the Keelung government will collaborate with the central government to carry out security projects and fight against multi-district crimes. The government has formulated five strategies in this regard: 1. police enforcement for better effectiveness; 2. scam prevention for increased sense of security; 3. burglary prevention and stolen goods checking for people’s property safety; 4. quality police services; 5. crime prevention promotion for closer cooperation between the police and citizens. The government will actively carry out the following practices: setting up a scam-prevention team; a scientific forensic evidence collection project; burglary, drug and scam prevention projects and the reconstruction of the second branch of the Keelung Police Headquarters and the Nanrong police station of the first branch; a safe living environment for women and safe corridors on campus; the burglary prevention adviser program. It is worth mentioning that Keelung’s crime clearance rate was 96.2% from January to April in 2007, the second highest rate nationwide. The hard work of the law enforcement deserves our applause.

for the past two years, the number of fires dropped from 155 in 2005 to 127 in 2006, with a decrease of 20%. Although the large decrease suggests that fire prevention has taken effect, we should still work harder to prevent fires since they pose a dangerous threat to people’s property and lives. Therefore, the government continues to promote the following fire-prevention work: providing better facilities in the disaster prevention education hall, volunteer tour guide training to increase public awareness of fire prevention; preserving fire prevention equipment for immediate use; Renai Section moving plan and the reconstruction of the second section of the Cidu fire department; subsiding public fire extinguishers for apartment buildings; facilitating communication for disaster relief; construction of the 119 auto-dispatch system to enhance the commanding ability; increasing the e-fire prevention function to provide modern disaster relief; and providing better care and efficiency to safeguard the citizens.
