Busan Police Agency Supports Construction of Korean-Style Simulation Shooting Range in Vietnam

Official Development Assistance (ODA)... 600 Million KRW to Be Invested by Next Year to Promote Projects

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Yoseop] On the 29th, the Busan Metropolitan Police Agency announced that it will support the construction of a Korean-style simulation shooting range to strengthen security capabilities in Vietnam as part of Official Development Assistance (ODA).

The Busan Metropolitan Police Agency plans to build a simulation shooting range (240㎡) with 10 shooting lanes on the 13th floor of the Ho Chi Minh City Police Department in Vietnam by next year, investing 600 million KRW. Basic construction for the shooting range will begin in September.

Once completed, the shooting range will allow training using guns that fire lasers instead of real bullets.

Previously, in 2014, the Busan Metropolitan Police Agency signed a security cooperation Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Ho Chi Minh City Police Department. In May 2018, after the chief of the Ho Chi Minh City Police Department toured the Busan Police Agency’s simulation shooting range, they requested training methods utilizing the facility, which led to the promotion of the ODA project by the Busan Police Agency.

Kim Chang-ryong, chief of the Busan Metropolitan Police Agency, stated, "Once the shooting range is completed next year, we plan to participate in the 'Korean-style 112 Central Control System' project promoted by the Ho Chi Minh City Police Department and support system manuals and operational methods."
