Regarding future plans, along with focusing on propaganda to encourage people to surrender weapons, explosives, and supporting tools that are still being stored, local police will continue to review and compile lists of individuals with previous convictions, suspected criminal activities related to weapons, explosives, supporting tools, and fireworks for monitoring, management, and combating. In addition, they will strengthen intelligence gathering in their areas to promptly detect, combat, and arrest individuals showing signs of illegally manufacturing, storing, or trading weapons, explosives, and supporting tools.
