[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] Jeju Regional Maritime Police Agency (Chief Kim Seongjong) announced on the 1st that it held a voluntary 'Love Blood Donation' event for police officers.


This blood donation event was held in celebration of the 67th Maritime Police Day (September 10) and was organized as a group blood donation to help alleviate the worsening blood supply situation caused by the decrease in blood donations due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.


The blood donation took place at the Korean Red Cross blood donation bus in the parking lot of the Jeju Regional Maritime Police Agency building, strictly adhering to infectious disease prevention measures such as wearing masks and temperature checks.


A police officer who participated in the blood donation said, "Preventive measures such as temperature checks and mask-wearing were thoroughly implemented during the blood donation, so there was no need to worry about infection," and added, "I hope many people participate with peace of mind, and I will join blood donations again if given the opportunity."



The Jeju Regional Maritime Police Agency has practiced community love through two group blood donations in February and May this year, and plans to continue holding group blood donations at least once every six months to promote community love and life sharing.
