On the 31st, Mokpo Maritime Police held a discharge ceremony and disbandment ceremony for the auxiliary police in the large auditorium on the 5th floor of the building, commemorating the end of the auxiliary police, which will now disappear into history.

The event proceeded with the discharge reporting ceremony of 17 members of the last marine auxiliary police class (416th class), followed by congratulatory speeches and the presentation of discharge certificates to honor their hard work.

A Mokpo Maritime Police official said, "We express our gratitude for working together to protect our seas as a reliable partner of the police officers," and added, "We hope they will move forward vigorously toward their dreams with the experience gained through military service."

Meanwhile, the marine auxiliary police began in 1971 with the first class of marine police combat police officers and were assigned to various departments such as police stations, substations, and patrol vessels, performing duties to assist the maritime police in maintaining public order.
