This is a basic study of Busan Water Police Station in modern era. In 1920, the first and only water police station in colonial Joseon was established in Busan. After its establishment in 1920, the Busan Water Police Station survived until 1945, when Japan was defeated. It continued to exist after liberation in 1945, when it escaped from Japanese colonial rule. However, there is a lack of research on the Water Police and the Water Police Station. It is partially covered by studies on modern police history and studies on smuggling Koreans to Japan during the colonial period. The Busan Water Police Station has not been directly researched or studied. During the colonial period of modern Imperial Japan, the police were the organisations that most directly affected people's daily lives. Among these police organisations, the water police had a role in the control and management of the movement of people to and from the imperial homeland and the colony. They also had a role in the defence against pandemic epidemics such as cholera. For this reason, this study will summarise and analyse the basic aspects of when, where, how and why the Water Police Station in Busan was established. These are aspects which have not been the subject of research until now. This study specifically analyses the following aspects of the Busan Water Police Station. The points of analysis are (1) the water police before the establishment of the Busan Water Police, (2) the background of the establishment of the Busan Water Police, (3) the year of the establishment, (4) the place of establishment, (5) the police box and the jurisdiction of the Busan Water Police. It will be a fundamental study of the Water Patrol. It will allow us to understand the governing structure of the Empire of Japan and to understand the negotiations of the maritime cities.
