Chief Park said, “In particular, we will ensure safety by deploying personnel at major intersections such as Jeonmak Intersection and Oin Intersection.”
The police plan to sequentially control the marathon course from Baekje Main Road to Oin Intersection in Uidang-myeon from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the 17th, the day of the race. Chief Park said, “We have prepared thorough traffic management measures to ensure that all marathon participants from all over the country can reach the finish line safely.” He added, “I hope that you will enjoy Gongju, where 1,500 years of history and brilliant cultural heritage are alive through the Gongju Baekje Marathon.” He said.
Chief Park, who took office at the end of July this year, also expressed his determination to “become a Gongju police officer faithful to the basics.” He said, “‘Basics and principles’ are values that all police officers must adhere to,” and added, “We will proudly carry out our duties on the side of citizens, fairly and consistently, and while maintaining neutrality, in accordance with laws and principles.”
