The station announced that on September 14, a welcoming ceremony for field training was held in the hall of the police station for the 35 trainees of the 320th new police officer class.

The ceremony began with the national pledge and introductions of the attendees, followed by self-introductions and determination statements from the new officers, presentation of congratulatory gifts, remarks of encouragement from the chief of police, and a commemorative photo session.

Notably, each new police officer shared their personal determination, expressing their commitment as they embarked on their first field training.

Jang Myungbon, Chief of Mokpo Police Station, encouraged the new officers as they began this new chapter, presenting each of them with a copy of the book "Sweet Spot" and urging them to grow into responsible police officers who listen to the voices of citizens at the scene.

The 35 new officers will participate in field training at local police stations and other locations until November 13.

During this period, they will work alongside veteran officers, gaining hands-on experience in patrols, responding to emergency calls, and engaging with local residents. This will allow them to apply theoretical knowledge learned in school to real-life situations, and further develop the practical response skills needed as police officers.

The station plans to continue linking new officers with senior colleagues for practical training throughout this field training period, aiming to help them adapt to various security situations and enhance their abilities in citizen engagement and on-site decision-making.

In particular, as this first field experience as police officers will have a significant impact on their sense of public duty and quality of public safety service, the station emphasized the importance of protecting citizens' human rights, responsible on-site response, and public service ethics as foundational attitudes.

Chief Jang Myungbon stated, "I hope this field training becomes a valuable opportunity for the trainees to learn the roles and responsibilities of police officers who serve the public at the closest distance," adding, "I hope you will never forget the mindset you had when you first put on your uniform and grow into police officers who are trusted by the citizens."
