Zarmina Khan

“I never thought I'd end up as a police officer in another country, but here I am. Life takes you to unexpected places sometimes.”

Zarmina Khan is not your average police officer. Born and raised in Afghanistan, she moved to Seoul to pursue a career in law enforcement. After facing discrimination in her department, Zarmina worked tirelessly to prove herself and pave the way for other minority officers. She is passionate about serving her community, and frequently volunteers at a local women's shelter. Zarmina's strength, resilience, and dedication are an inspiration to us all.

What inspired you to become a police officer?

Growing up in Afghanistan, I saw a lot of injustice and corruption. I wanted to be part of the solution.

What's the biggest challenge you've faced in your career so far?

Being a minority officer in Korea was definitely tough at first. But I'm proud of what I've achieved and I'm determined to keep breaking down barriers.
