Police Officers in Charge of Women and Juvenile Affairs Publish Their Own Stories... First ‘Here We Are’ Collection Released

[Financial News] The police are publishing the first 'Here We Are: Collection of Essays by Police Officers in Charge of Women and Juvenile Affairs,' featuring 27 stories written by officers responsible for women and juvenile affairs.
The Korean National Police Agency (KNPA) announced on the 9th that it will publish a collection of essays written by frontline Women and Juvenile Affairs Investigators, Victim Protection Team members, Officers in Charge of Registration and Management of Personal Information of Offenders, and municipal police.
While there have previously been essay collections by forensic investigators, School Police Officers (SPO), and individual officers, this is the first time a collection specifically focused on women and juvenile affairs has been published.
This collection consists of 27 essays selected through an internal contest by the KNPA, written by officers handling women and juvenile affairs at the KNPA, Metropolitan Police Agencies, police stations, Police Precincts, and police boxes nationwide.
The KNPA expects that by sharing the vivid experiences and daily work of officers engaged in women and juvenile affairs, both internal and external readers interested in crimes against women and the protection of juveniles will gain a deeper understanding of this field.
By making this book widely available, the police hope to encourage victims—who may have hesitated to report incidents—to come forward, and to deter offenders from committing crimes, ultimately contributing to the prevention of crimes against women and juveniles.
To commemorate the publication of 'Here We Are,' the KNPA will host a Book Talk event. The event is scheduled for the 16th at Dari Small Theater in Mapo-gu, Seoul, and will feature author interviews, discussions, Q&A sessions, and celebratory performances.
Jo Jueun, Director of Women's Safety and School Violence Countermeasures at the KNPA, stated, "Through this book, we hope the public will feel reassured and confident in reporting to the police, and that officers responsible for women and juvenile affairs will continue to serve with a strong sense of duty."
