Changwon Coast Guard, "We Will Protect You Better by Obtaining 'Life-saving Qualification'!"

Implementation of Capacity Building Training for Lifeguards

The Changwon Maritime Police Station in Gyeongnam will conduct a capacity-building training program for lifeguards until the 12th.

According to Changwon Maritime Police, the training, which began on the 3rd, is being conducted for 85 police officers.

Professional instructors from the Korea Maritime Rescue Association were invited to enhance swimming skills and train maritime rescue personnel through lifeguard certification, aiming to improve rescue capabilities at maritime accident sites.

Through the lifeguard certification training, participants receive theoretical and practical education and training on essential emergency treatment for life-threatening accidents, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, basic swimming and lifeguard techniques, and equipment-based rescue methods. Those who pass the evaluation can obtain a lifeguard certification.

Changwon Maritime Police plans to expand the training to include both field and office duty officers so that anyone can participate in lifesaving efforts.

A representative from Changwon Maritime Police stated, “Through this training, we will actively meet the public’s expectations for the maritime police and become specialized maritime police capable of protecting precious lives.”

They added, “We also hope that the public will always follow safety rules, such as wearing life jackets?the safety belt of the sea?during water activities or maritime activities, and avoiding dangerous areas.”
