Many professional players who were serving compulsory military service played for the Police team,[1] usually for a term of two seasons. The team was not affiliated with any single KBO League team, but did have a number of players from the Doosan Bears franchise.

The Police team was the champion of the Northern League division of the Futures League in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018. The Police team was disbanded after the 2019 Futures League season.
