The Amtai Police Substation was opened as Sinan Police Substation on September 1, 2020, and was renamed Amtai Police Substation on September 1, 2022.

Located at a key point on the so-called Diamond Islands route including Uido, Bigeum, and Amtai, the Amtai Police Substation is responsible for maritime security over an area of 1,120㎢, which is 26 times the size of Mokpo City. Since its opening, it has responded to over 30 maritime accidents, transported more than 100 emergency patients, and apprehended over 120 maritime criminals, striving to establish public order and safety.

Chief Kwon Oh-seong said, “With this completion ceremony as an opportunity, we will do our best to provide better security services to our maritime family,” and added, “We ask local residents to show great interest and warm encouragement for the Mokpo Coast Guard.”
