사회안전을 위한 경찰업무의 범위 확대 문제에 관한 연구

Abstract

We have faced numerous disasters. Sometimes administrative agencies and the people worked together to wisely overcome disasters, but many remain as a stigma of man-made disaster. Among them, the police have been severely criticized. There may be different views on whether it is reasonable to hold only the police accountable. But the police clearly have a painful mistake in the 'Itaewon disaster' which has now been more than a year. Despite numerous reports, preparations and responses were not properly made. The basics of disaster prevention, preparation, response, and recovery were not observed. Now, the police are being deployed for safety at almost every event, with or without organizers. It is time to discuss what the police's basic duty is and how far it is appropriate to expand it in the future.
 When a report is received, the police should be dispatched unconditionally to investigate and spread the problem to related agencies. It is necessary to cultivate disaster experts and reorganize related organizations. We really have to approach it with the determination that this is the last time. To this end, it is necessary to look for problems with the existing legal system. It is necessary to explain why administrative functions, including police, did not work properly. In addition, new ideas such as legal alternatives and disaster management responsibility agency systems must be presented. With vague cooperation or communication, disaster will return to man-made disaster. It is time for concrete alternatives.
