[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Chunsu Kim] The Goheung Police Station in Jeonnam announced on the 23rd that they encouraged a police officer who saved a citizen through cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

Sergeant Changik Jo, who works at the Goheung Police Station, saved the precious life of a man in his 50s who suddenly collapsed at a restaurant located in Yeonhyang-dong, Suncheon City, around 3:30 p.m. on the 13th during the Lunar New Year holiday.

On that day, Sergeant Changik Jo was dining at the restaurant with one acquaintance when he witnessed a woman customer causing a disturbance. After the customers left, the owner suddenly collapsed, and Sergeant Jo was the first to approach, instructing those around to call 112 and 119 emergency services, and he personally performed CPR.

He performed CPR for about eight minutes on the unconscious owner until consciousness returned. Together with the customers present, he continuously massaged the stiff body and kept talking to prevent loss of consciousness until the 119 emergency team arrived, then handed over the patient to them.

The owner is currently known to be recovering under treatment at the hospital.

Sergeant Changik Jo said, "As soon as I saw the person collapse, I thought I had to protect the golden time, so I performed CPR as I was trained, and I felt relieved to be able to save a life."

This fact became known to the police station after Sergeant Changik Jo did not tell anyone at the time but spoke to his office colleagues after returning to work following the holiday.
