The experience of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency on the day of the accident, or the operation plan of the police personnel, was obtained
A total of 81 riot police were divided and deployed to guard rallies and protest base facilities, with 70 units deployed in 21 rallies and demonstrations
More than 20 units have been assigned to the base and foreign missions
Each task force consisted of about 60 people, so at least 4,800 people were mobilized
However, the name of Itaewon or Halloween event is not written in the operation plan
A large number of riot police were deployed at the rally of the two major labor unions, which gathered more than 25,000 people, but not a single unit was assigned to Halloween, which drew at least 130,000 people
Last year, 85 front-line police officers and three squadrons were deployed, but this year, 137 police officers were assigned and none of them were deployed
The police officers on the scene were not people who specialized in safety management or order, but were in charge of investigation and transportation, women and youth
Critics point out that the failure to deploy the task force even though they expected more than 100,000 Halloween people to gather was a failure to take safety measures
