    The center’s reach extends beyond rescue. The system supports filtered searches by gender, age and clothing type — a search for “April 29, male, Mapo,” for example, pulls up footage of every adult male who crossed Mapo Bridge that day, helping police map the movement routes of suspects. All data is strictly managed under the Personal Information Protection Act and deleted after one month.
