According to the National Police Agency, on August 10th, the police stationed 72 interpreters working in 8 languages across the country in the 112 situation rooms (the emergency call number for the police agency in South Korea is 112) and event venues. We have maintained a 24-hour response system.
In addition to the four languages supported by the Jamboree Organizing Committee (English, Japanese, Spanish, and Russian), the police also support four additional languages, including Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and Thai.
We provide prompt on-site interpretation throughout the entire event, from receiving reports to the police, dispatching reports, maintaining the safety of the event, helping the injured, and crime prevention activities.
In particular, in the heat wave, there are many injuries such as heat stroke, and in the process of transporting foreign participants who have collapsed due to hypoglycemia shock symptoms in cooperation with the fire department, police interpreters are continuously working. They were able to guide the conversation and restore stability.
In addition, at the "Pyeongsan Beach Park Event", which attracted more than 10,000 people, he provided simultaneous interpretation on the stage for the staff's dissolution broadcast, and actively supported the safe return of all participants without accidents.
In addition, an interpreter was dispatched after several incidents in which an unknown person illegally used a foreign participant's lost card. The interpreter helped the victim to report the loss of the card and promptly suspended the use of the card.
An official from the National Police Agency said, "In consideration of the fact that the participants were scattered all over the country due to the typhoon's northward movement, we have introduced a three-way telephone interpretation service to respond to 112 calls nationwide and will be available until the event ends. We will mobilize all available police interpreters to provide support."
