「경비업법」 규정과 경비실무 운영상 쟁점 사안에 관한 대안적 고찰

Abstract

Although Korea's 「Security Service Act」 has been revised several times since its enactment in 1976, there are parts that do not meet the modern needs of the security industry environment. First of all, the definition of security work is unclear, and the scope of security guards' work is unclear. Confusion has continued. In 2023, the Constitutional Court ruled that some provisions of the Security Service Act prohibiting security guards from performing non-security work were unconstitutional. This measure actually infringes on the importance of security work and adds to confusion. Problems related to the validity period of security guard new training certificates are also appearing in practice. Therefore, in the future, it is important to revise the 「Security Business Act」 into a comprehensive 「Security Industry-Related Act」, clearly distinguish the scope of work of security guards, and provide security guard training. It is proposed that legislation be enacted to prevent recurrence of problems such as the controversy over the validity of certificates of completion through an overall review. These improvement measures will improve the social status of security workers by creating future national added value in the private security industry and securing professionalism in the security industry.
