[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Kim Byung-su, Chief of the Gyeongnam Provincial Police Agency, visited the Hamyang County Police Cemetery on the 19th to commemorate the police memorial period in celebration of the 77th Police Day.

The Hamyang Police Cemetery, the nation's first state-managed police cemetery, was established to honor 13 police officers who died during the anti-communist guerrilla suppression operations in Jirisan during the Korean War.

Originally established in Hamyang-eup in 1976, the police cemetery was relocated to Yurim-myeon in 2009. It was managed by the Hamyang Police Station Veterans Association until it was designated as a state-managed cemetery on the 11th of this month.

On this day, Chief Kim paid respects at the cemetery alongside police officers, leaders from the Gyeongnam Veterans Association, the Police Development Council, the Foreign Affairs Advisory Council, and the Security Advisory Council, honoring the spirits of the fallen officers.

Chief Kim stated, “I bow my head in respect to the noble sacrifice of the patriots who gave their lives for the country,” adding, “I will strive even harder to build a fair and dignified Gyeongnam Police.”
