[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] The opening ceremony for the newly constructed integrated headquarters of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Metropolitan Investigation Unit (Gwangsu-dae) and Intelligent Crime Investigation Unit (Jisu-dae) was held on the 7th.

In the afternoon ceremony, Police Commissioner Min Gap-ryong, Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency Chief Lee Yong-pyo, and other police leadership along with investigators from Gwangsu-dae and Jisu-dae attended.

At the opening ceremony, Police Commissioner Min Gap-ryong urged, "Gwangsu-dae and Jisu-dae, which have successfully resolved various major cases so far, should take the lead in completing the transformation and reform of investigative police through 'responsible investigation' that earns even greater public trust."

The integrated headquarters of Gwangsu-dae and Jisu-dae began construction in November 2017 and was completed in about two years. During the construction period, Gwangsu-dae used part of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency building in Naejadong, Jongno-gu, while Jisu-dae operated from the former Jungnang Police Station building in Muk-dong, Jungnang-gu.

The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency stated, "Gwangsu-dae and Jisu-dae are the representative brands of investigative police," and added, "We will strive to meet the public's expectations through responsible investigations." Furthermore, they said, "We will continue to provide investigative services that the public can trust and rely on," and added, "We aim to establish ourselves as the representative brand of K-COP, comparable to K-POP."
