Paldal Police Station Recruitment Committee Launched Successfully in Suwon

The Paldal Police Station Civic Recruitment Committee held a successful launching ceremony on the 19th at the Grand Auditorium of Suwon City Hall with approximately 1,000 citizens in attendance, marking the beginning of full-scale operations.

Rep. Kim Yong-nam of the Saenuri Party, who chairs the committee, said in his opening remarks, "Before coming to the National Assembly, I worked as a prosecutor for over 20 years fighting crime, which is my specialty," and added, "I will persuade the central government to have no choice but to attract a police station to Paldal."

Rep. Kim further stated, "Attracting a newly established police station, with only one opening nationwide per year, is not something a single member of the National Assembly can accomplish alone," and appealed for civic participation.

Since taking office in the National Assembly last year, Rep. Kim has prepared attracting the Paldal Police Station as his first priority project. After completing data research and reviewing administrative requirements for police station expansion, Rep. Kim held a "Creating a Safe Suwon" forum on January 23rd to bring the issue to public attention.

The recruitment committee, composed of representatives from approximately 300 organizations including Suwon civic groups, police civilian organizations, religious groups, and parent associations, was launched on this day.

Suwon Mayor Yeum Tae-young served as co-chair alongside Rep. Kim. The launching ceremony was attended by Seo Chung-won, Supreme Council member of the Saenuri Party, Representatives Bae Deok-kwang, Shin Ui-jin, and Kim Sang-min, former Rep. Park Jong-hee, city and provincial council members, and the chiefs of Suwon's Central, Southern, and Western Police Stations, lending their support to the police station attraction effort.

Supreme Council member Seo, who serves on the National Assembly's Safety and Administration Committee, pledged in his congratulatory remarks, "I promise before the citizens of Suwon that the National Assembly will actively cooperate so that the Paldal Police Station can definitely be attracted."

Prior to the launching ceremony, Rep. Kim met with National Assembly Safety and Administration Committee Chairman Jin Young and National Police Commissioner Kang Shin-myung to actively persuade them of the necessity of establishing a Paldal Police Station and urged their cooperation.
