On the 25th, a joint press conference of ruling and opposition party lawmakers supporting the establishment of the 2nd Central Police Academy in Namwon was held at the National Assembly's Communication Hall in Seoul. Participants included Kim Gwan-young, the Governor of North Jeolla Province, Lee Won-taek, the Chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea in North Jeolla Province, Jo Bae-sook, the Chairman of the People Power Party in North Jeolla Province, as well as lawmakers from the North Jeolla region and Yeongnam, the Governor of North Jeolla Province, and the Mayor of Namwon, among others.

The event emphasized the importance of attracting the 2nd Central Police Academy to Namwon, stating that it would serve as a crucial milestone not only for the survival of the region but also for national balanced development.

North Jeolla Province has been marginalized in national balanced development policies, with 10 out of 14 cities and counties designated as areas experiencing population decline. Namwon City's population has declined to around 80,000 people (74,867 as of August), making it a critical opportunity to overcome the risk of regional extinction by attracting the 2nd Central Police Academy.

If the 2nd Central Police Academy is established in Namwon, it is expected that around 5,000 new police officers will receive training annually. This is projected to have an economic ripple effect of around 30 billion won and an increase in population due to the influx of around 300 permanent residents.
