Enhanced vigilance, such as installing barbed wire fences at the official residence after the first execution
Police execute warrants by dividing detailed duties such as arrest and suppression
The list of supplies includes auxiliary batteries, laxatives, etc.
The execution of an arrest warrant for Yoon Suk Yeol's president appears imminent as police gather a large number of personnel at the presidential residence.
I'm connecting the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters. Reporter Shin Gwihye!
[Reporter]
Yes, this is the National Investigation Headquarters of the National Police Agency.

You think the arrest warrant will be executed in a little while?
[Reporter]
Yes, it was reported that the police issued a call-up order yesterday for those who will be put into execution of the warrant from 4 p.m.
The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency ordered the task force to gather in Hannam-dong, where the official residence is located, by 3:30 a.m. today, but a large number of task force personnel have been deployed around the official residence.
It can be seen as a matter of time before execution.
The number of people mobilized for this execution is more than 1,000, including detectives from the metropolitan area's metropolitan investigation team.
Some of the national government personnel were dispatched to the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.
More than 3,000 troops from 51 mobile units will be deployed to maintain order around the official residence, about 300 more than the number put in during the first round of execution.

Police, you're also considering a prolonged execution of arrest warrants, right?
[Reporter]
The police held the third meeting yesterday with the heads of the metropolitan area's investigation team.
The meeting was held for an hour and a half, and it seems that specific execution methods such as the method of evidence were discussed.
In the previous meetings, there was a mention that we should prepare for a long-term war.
At yesterday's meeting, it was also reported that the resisting bodyguards would be overpowered in groups of four.
After the first execution, the guard was further strengthened, with chains surrounded by the official residence and barbed wire.
The police are expected to divide the execution of the arrest warrant into detailed tasks such as arrest, obstacle removal, and suppression.
The list of supplies included auxiliary batteries, extra clothes, and cold-weather items.
Even if it takes that long, it is read as an intention to complete the execution of the warrant while reliably overpowering each person.
[Anchor]
The police have been focusing on the breakdown of the security services, right?
[Reporter]
As the first round of execution was thwarted by the security service's blocking, the police have been actively attempting to break down the security service leadership, including one after another.
Some executives, including Park Jong-joon, former head of the Security and Safety Headquarters, responded to the summons, and there was some achievement.
We are continuing to put pressure on hard-line executives who do not comply with their attendance by reviewing applications for arrest warrants.
In particular, an arrest warrant was issued for Kim Sung-hoon, the deputy head of the security service.
The police are expected to actively attempt to break up operations at the scene as they have both the arrest warrants for President Yoon and Deputy Chief Kim in their hands.
However, as the police also said they would give leniency to the security officials who cooperate with the enforcement, it remains to be seen whether the disintegration operation will produce results quickly.
So far, I'm YTN Shin Gwihye from the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters.
