The story of female police officers who risked their lives alongside fellow male police officers on the front lines of bullets still resonates with officers of all genders to this day.

Detective Kim Mal-nyeo, who was assigned to support the subjugation of the public conspiracy, fought with a gun in the Guksabong and Sunchang Ssangchi districts of Naju, and in a month she recovered the bodies of 20 to 30 police officers.
Police Officer Jeong Gwang-nam also received his unit code and distributed it to platoon posts, etc.

The female police officers, who were in their early 20s, at the age of flowers, hummed the subjugation song, 'If it is a subjugation force that female policemen cannot go, / I will change to a conquest and a uniform / I will go accordingly. said to have overcome.
10 employees of the Daegu Women's Police Station were also dispatched to the Unmunsan Combat Command as the leader of Sergeant Kim Sang-dal and participated in the war.
They disguised themselves as peddlers during the day, gathering information about the concubines, and preparing meals as combat police at night.
An official from the National Police Agency said today (the 5th), "In the Korean War, female police officers sometimes worked as front-line combat agents and on the other hand as rear agents. "I was also in charge of collecting intelligence for the suppression of guerrillas in the rear, defection, and work on Seonmu," he said.
After the uprising, the Daegu Women's Police Station arrested a spy who lived with an Armed Forces officer, and is considered to have taken the lead in the enlightenment movement, such as eradicating illiteracy and disseminating Hangeul.
During the Korean War, 1,613 police officers were abducted, including 21 female police officers.
