Among them, trainee Kim Yong-moon is a talent hired through a special recruitment for Chinese language skills and is known to be the younger brother of Police Officer Kim Yong, who is active on a patrol vessel. It is reported that Kim Yong-moon chose the path of the maritime police influenced by the pride his sister feels while protecting the sea.

It is expected that through this field training, the prospective maritime police officers will develop practical skills and contribute to protecting the safe seas for the public.
