Additionally, police officers were dispatched to the International Cooperation Center (ICC) of the French Ministry of the Interior and the Rapid Response Team of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The National Police Agency’s International Cooperation Officer stated, “Thanks to the Paris Olympics Safety Support Team, the Olympics, a festival for people around the world, and the safety of our nationals were protected. We will continue to ensure that wherever our nationals are, the Korean police will always be with them.”
