Sinan-gun in Jeollanam-do covers an area more than 13 times that of Mokpo City, with 72 inhabited islands and a total of 1,025 islands. However, since its separation from Muan-gun in 1969, security has been managed by the Mokpo Police Station.

With this new station, a total of 161 police officers will work at the Sinan Police Station, a four-story building above ground and one basement level, which is expected to enable more thorough security management throughout Sinan-gun without any blind spots.

At the opening ceremony, Commissioner Yoon said, "Sinan-gun, the only one among the 22 cities and counties in Jeollanam-do without a police station, now has one, which will elevate the quality of security services to a new level and make residents' daily lives safer." He added, "I hope Sinan police will create a Sinan where people can feel not only safe but also reassured through competent and confident security activities."

Meanwhile, reflecting the characteristics of the region with many islands, the Sinan Police Station plans to implement customized security policies and actively expand additional necessary security infrastructure.
