Since 2008, the Korean Cultural Center Los Angeles (KCCLA) has organized the “Korean Culture Experience Workshop for the LAPD” as part of its Expert Group Special Lecture Series. More than 2,100 Los Angeles police officers have participated in 57 workshops.

The workshop is held four to five times annually and offers LA County police officers the opportunity to engage in a variety of educational and cultural activities. These include lectures on topics such as “Korean History: Past and Present,” “Overview of Korean American History and Community,” and “Understanding Korean Society and Culture.” Participants also experience Korean culture through traditional food tastings and Taekwondo demonstrations.

This workshop has played a significant role in deepening police officers' understanding of both Korean culture and the Korean American community. It has also served as a valuable platform for fostering mutual understanding and strengthening relationships between law enforcement and Korean American residents in the Los Angeles area.
