[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando Maritime Police Station (Chief Park Je-su) announced on the 24th that, in collaboration with Wando County, it provided a visiting comprehensive civil service to the residents of Bigyeondo Island village in Geumdang-myeon, Wando-gun, who usually have difficulties traveling to the mainland.

This visiting island mobile comprehensive civil service, in cooperation with Wando County, offered various services including visiting beauty services, COVID-19 quarantine activities, customized magnifier services, underwater cleanup activities, lectures on the use and inspection of V-PASS equipment, inspection of ship communication equipment and outboard motors, and legal consultation services.

In particular, through marine legal consultations and V-PASS repairs, the service alleviated residents' inconveniences, directly listened to civil complaints and grievances, and held a meaningful on-site communication session focused on resolving issues for the public.

Kim Seo-yong, head of the Bigyeondo fishing village cooperative, said, “Because of the island area's characteristics, Bigyeondo residents find it difficult to frequently go to the mainland, so there are many hardships, but we are grateful that the maritime police came to help us first like this.”

Chief Park Je-su said, “We will continue to collaborate with related organizations to communicate with residents of remote island areas and carry out various volunteer activities to become a maritime police force like family.”
