Encouragement for junior officers... Trainees say, "We will become confident police officers"

Yoon Hee-geun, Commissioner of the National Police Agency, ran together with new police officers preparing for field duty to encourage them.

On the 2nd, Commissioner Yoon visited the Central Police Academy in Chungju, Chungcheongbuk-do, and ran a morning run with 1,011 new police trainees. The 312th class of police trainees who ran with the National Police Agency entered the Central Police Academy last December and received six months of basic training for new police officers. From mid-this month, they will begin full-scale field training, including handling 112 emergency calls.

Commissioner Yoon wore the daily uniform that the trainees wear and joined the morning run at 6:20 a.m., running around the inside and outside of the training ground with the trainees. This run was initiated at Commissioner Yoon’s suggestion to support the new police officers who will be assigned close to the people.

The National Police Agency explained that this event was organized to encourage junior police officers by running at the same level and wearing the same clothes as the trainees.

Commissioner Yoon said to the trainees, "Wearing the same clothes and running the same path, I believe our hearts are united as guardians of public safety and law and order. I hope you pledge that at the moment the public needs the police, you will at least not walk." He added, "As a senior police officer and commissioner, I will always run alongside you."

Trainee Lee Cheong-min said, "Running with the Commissioner of the National Police Agency, I was able to engrave the mission of police officers running to the side of the people in my heart. I will not lose my initial determination and become a competent and confident police officer that the public needs."
