In response to the Kaohsiung mayor’s recall vote, Chen Jiaqin, the “police director” of the Democratic Progressive Party authority, mentioned this afternoon that there were recent rumors that gangsters would “monitor” the voting at voting and counting stations to intimidate the people and prevent them from voting. The Kaohsiung City Police Department is required to immediately report this information to the Kaohsiung District Prosecutor’s Office to direct the investigation in accordance with the law. However, the Kaohsiung City Police Department stated that it has not received any relevant reports yet.

Chen Jiaqin led "criminal director" Huang Mingzhao, "police department" security team leader Lin Guoqing, security team leader Liu Chongzhi and others to the Kaohsiung City Police Station this afternoon to convene the first special meeting on public security maintenance work in the Kaohsiung mayor's recall case. In his speech, Chen Jiaqin raised the intelligence of "underworld surveillance" and emphasized that underworld surveillance and intimidation will never be tolerated. He requested the Kaohsiung City Police Department to deploy additional police forces to maintain the safety of relevant people, objects, and places during the voting activities.

Chen Jiaqin said that the police adhere to the principle of "safety before voting, smooth voting day, and smooth post-voting". As long as there is any illegal behavior that attempts to interfere, destroy or affect the voting results, including vote bribery, violence, and gambling manipulation, we must do our best to Investigate.

In response to this matter, Kuomintang Kaohsiung City Councilor Huang Shaoting said that the voting inspection action proposed by Mayor Han is a simple inspection of the vote. It does not require amplified surveillance and does not constitute an obstruction to secret voting. It is no different from the vote inspection in previous elections. I hope it will not be unlimited. , there should also be people from the "Stop Korea" group going to the polling station to supervise the voting. Huang also said that he did not know where the information of the "Police Commissioner" came from, and he should not spread the word to cause people's unrest. If there are really criminals who are ready to take action, the police responsible for "enforcement" should strengthen the investigation instead of spreading the word.

It is understood that the "Police Department" currently has 80 people supporting the Kaohsiung City Police Department every day. Wang Qinyuan, deputy chief of the Kaohsiung City Police Department, was ordered to hold a press conference outside the meeting while the project meeting was in progress. Wang Qinyuan said that the Kaohsiung City Police Department has planned to apply to the "Police Administration Bureau" for security support to maintain the security of the voting day on June 6. However, it has not received any information about "underworld surveillance". After finishing the project meeting, Chen Jiaqin said that the content of the "underworld vote-monitoring" information was just "rumor" and that he wanted the Kaohsiung City Police Department to develop relevant coercive means.
