[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] The completion ceremony for the new building of the Gyeongnam Provincial Police Agency, ‘Jeong Byeong-gwan,’ was held on the 23rd at the new building’s main auditorium.

The ceremony began with the national anthem, followed by introductions of guests, progress reports, award presentations, speeches, congratulatory remarks, and celebratory performances. Post-ceremony events included ribbon cutting, making a hope tree, commemorative photos, and a tour of the building.

Attendees included Police Commissioner Kim Chang-ryong, Gyeongnam Provincial Council Chairman Kim Ha-yong, heads of various organizations, and police cooperation group leaders such as Jeong Byeong-cheol, chairman of the Police Development Council.

The Gyeongnam Provincial Police Agency had faced a shortage of office space due to organizational expansion and increased equipment.

Since 2010, they negotiated with Gyeongnam Province and secured the site for the new building by signing a memorandum of understanding for land exchange in 2014.

Construction began in 2019, and the building, completed in December last year, was built on a 20,909㎡ site with a total floor area of 16,539㎡, consisting of two basement floors and five above-ground floors.

The building’s design symbolizes the ‘Chamsuri’ (Korean eagle), representing the police, with a relaxation garden created. To enhance investigative expertise following the independence of investigative authority, the investigation and administration wings were separated.

Commissioner Lee Sang-ryul said, “Just as Jeongbyeongsan warmly embraces the Gyeongnam Police Agency, we will protect the safety of the residents even more closely with the establishment of Jeong Byeong-gwan, which inherits that name. Please watch over the warm Gyeongnam police who live and breathe among the residents.”
