00:00It's similar to the Trafficking Imperson Report by the US Department recently.
00:06When I entered the office, our ranking was Tier 3.
00:12Tier 3 is the lowest.
00:14Then a year later, we improved to Tier 2 Watch List.
00:18And recently, it was announced that we will improve again to Tier 2.
00:24So, I have set my target to Tier 1.
00:30That's the Trafficking Imperson Report by the US Department.
00:36The same goes for the Global Peace Index.
00:39Why is it important for us to pay attention to it?
00:42Because investors see the index like this.
00:46Before they want to deposit their billions of dollars,
00:50they need to know the security and public security guarantees.
00:54So, it's an important indicator for the investment segment.
01:00Many parties are contributing to this performance improvement.
01:06But we can't deny the fact that the biggest powerhouse agency in our country is the police.
01:14That's why this index is our guide.
01:18Our guidance is based on national security.
01:22It's under the National Security Council.
01:26The element of national security is the Ministry of Defense.
01:29But the element of public security is the police.
01:32When the security index is like this,
01:37first, we need to set a target to reach a better level.
01:42At least in the Asia-Pacific,
01:45we're number three in Singapore and New Zealand.
01:49We're number three.
01:51In Asia, we're number two.
01:54So, we need to set a target to be in the top ten.
01:58At least, we need to maintain this environment.
02:01In that direction, we need to clarify what are the important indicators.
02:06The first one is how the police engages or outreaches to the common people.
02:16Then, there are other objective indicators.
02:21For example, crime index.
02:25Those are all common standards.
02:27But there are other specific indicators.
02:32We need to set a target to be in the top ten.
02:39That's number one.
02:41Number two, the police will investigate all the indicators
02:46that give weightage to our index.
02:50Not just the police, but all stakeholders in our country.
