[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam Police Station (Chief Jin Hee-seop) announced on the 25th that on the 23rd, it conducted an island search operation over the police operation-responsible islands including Eobuldo (inhabited island) in Songji-myeon, and Galdo, Gamado, Nonkaedo (uninhabited islands) to improve island operation capabilities and inspect integrated defense readiness.

A total of about 30 police officers participated in this island search operation, conducting search operations in four vulnerable areas including inhabited and uninhabited islands around Eobuldo in Songji-myeon, and carried out multi-purpose terrorism and general crime prevention activities to prepare for any possible situations.

Additionally, in cooperation with departments such as investigation, community safety, traffic, and women and youth, they promoted public safety administrative services that could impress residents, along with promoting compliance with COVID-19 social distancing and quarantine guidelines, and collected various opinions from island residents.

Chief Jin Hee-seop emphasized, “Every year, joint island search operations are conducted with the military, but this year, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the police conducted the search operation alone. Although this is regrettable, we must maintain a sense of responsibility and thoroughly prepare for enemy provocations with a perfect integrated defense posture.”
