Seogwipo Coast Guard Hosts 'Hanmaeum Culture and Sports Event' for Riot Police

[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] Seogwipo Maritime Police Station (Chief Kim Jin-young) announced on the 9th that it held a ‘One Heart Culture and Sports Event’ to boost the morale of conscripted policemen and promote communication and harmony between seniors and juniors.

The event was organized as part of proactive administration, bringing together 34 conscripted policemen working at the police station, various patrol vessels, and police boxes to relieve fatigue and stress and to maintain a healthy service life.

At around 1 p.m. that day, they gathered at the police station, watched the latest movie at a cinema, and then played a foot volleyball game together, strengthening comradeship and unity while cheering each other on.

Currently, there are a total of 51 conscripted policemen serving at Seogwipo Maritime Police, assigned to the police station, patrol vessels, and police boxes, performing various duties such as assisting in security and public order tasks.

Lee Seung-woo, a police officer (412th class) who participated in the event, said, “It was an enjoyable time to relieve the accumulated stress and strengthen camaraderie,” adding, “As the last conscripted policeman in the maritime police, I will do my best during the remaining service period.”

Meanwhile, according to the Ministry of National Defense’s policy to abolish conscripted policemen, the last group enlisted in October last year will be discharged in June next year, marking the end of conscripted policemen in history.
