[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Kwan-joo] Kim Yong-in (74), the newly appointed president of the Korea Retired Police Officers Association (Gyeongwoohoe), took office on the 1st.

At the inauguration ceremony held at the Police University in Asan, Chungnam, Kim said, "I will enhance social trust in Gyeongwoohoe as soon as possible through transparent and rational system management and expanding democratic decision-making participation of Gyeongwoo comrades." He added, "If all Gyeongwoo comrades unite as one, we can perform various meaningful services and roles for the nation and society, just like during our active duty days."

He also emphasized, "If we move forward with strong will and hope, we will become not forgotten police officers but the hopeful 'Evergreen Youth Gyeongwoo' itself." Kim plans to promote the expansion of regional Gyeongwoohoe finances, construction of an independent Gyeongwoohoe Hall, realization of a horizontal organizational culture, and revision of the Gyeongwoohoe Act.

Kim served as the head of security and administrative officer of the Blue House Civil Affairs Office when the late former President Kim Dae-jung was a presidential candidate and president-elect, as well as the chief of Gokseong Police Station in Jeonnam, and senior vice president of Gyeongwoohoe. Gyeongwoohoe, a gathering of retired police officers, is the largest police-related organization in Korea with 1.5 million members, and this is the first time a former police chief has been appointed as its president.
