[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] On December 24, a day before Christmas, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon visited the 'Seoul Police Mobile Unit' located in Sindang-dong, Jung-gu, to encourage and express gratitude to the conscripted police officers working during the year-end and New Year holidays.


Mayor Oh also had a conversation with Kim Hak-bae, Chairman of the Seoul Autonomous Police Committee, Hong Ki-hyun, Chief of the Seoul Police Mobile Headquarters, Chief Superintendent Jo Jeong-rae, Commander of the 1st Mobile Unit, and Chief Superintendent Park Jeong-won, Commander of the 5th Mobile Unit, and delivered consolation money prepared by city officials to the Seoul Police Mobile Unit.


Every year, Seoul City, together with autonomous districts, raises consolation funds through voluntary participation of public officials and delivers them to military personnel dedicated to national defense across the front and rear during the year-end period, as well as to the Seoul police who work hard for the city's security.



Meanwhile, over the past two years from last year to this year, about 100,000 military personnel have been devoted to COVID-19 tasks such as living treatment centers, vaccine transportation, and epidemiological investigation support. The conscripted police officers of the Police Mobile Unit have also been deployed with about 10,000 personnel to over 4,400 assembly and protest sites this year, engaging in response activities to protect citizens' safety.
