Jeonnam Police Conduct On-Site Emergency Response Training on 'Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Jeonnam Police announced that from the 29th to the 30th, they conducted emergency response training, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), for approximately 650 employees to prepare for emergencies such as disasters and cardiac arrest that may occur at the frontline.

This training invited emergency medical instructor Jeong Beomjun, a fire lieutenant from Gwangju Fire Academy, and covered both theoretical and practical sessions on ▲ CPR ▲ use of automated external defibrillators (AED) ▲ Heimlich maneuver (emergency response for airway obstruction) ▲ triage of emergency patients.

The training was conducted to enhance lifesaving capabilities so that police officers can actively and proactively respond at the scene to protect the lives and safety of the public, prompted by the recent Itaewon incident.

Jeong Beomjun, instructor at Gwangju Fire Academy, emphasized, “In actual emergencies such as cardiac arrest, police officers often arrive at the scene before 119 rescue teams,” and added, “It is really important for police officers to have the ability to perform CPR and other emergency measures.” The participants actively engaged in the training.

Jeonnam Police Agency Chief Lee Choongho stated, “Due to the nature of police work, officers are highly likely to encounter emergency patients such as those in cardiac arrest at the scene,” and added, “In critical situations, we will continue training to strengthen police officers’ on-site response capabilities so they can actively perform necessary emergency measures to save precious lives.”

Meanwhile, Jeonnam Police Agency plans to expand this training to all police stations and will continue efforts to ensure public safety.
