지구대(파출소) 운용에 관한 비판적 고찰

Abstract

With the implementation of the revised Police Act, security affairs were converted into “national police affairs (public safety),” “criminal investigation,” and “autonomous police affairs”.
 This study was planned under the awareness that the police are oblivious to the legislative purpose of the “Police Act” by unfairly operating a police district unit(police box).
 In this paper, four issues were derived and the following comments were developed.
 First, the local police spend most of their time on autonomous police affairs, except for the initial action on criminal investigations.
 Second, if the head of the autonomous police department in charge of autonomous police affairs is excluded from the command line of the local police, there is a high concern that the authority to command and supervise the municipal and provincial police committees on autonomous police affairs will become nominal.
 Third, the Police Act stipulates that the municipal and provincial police committees are in charge of the appointment and evaluation of public officials in charge of autonomous police affairs. However, by excluding local police officers who perform local police affairs from the category of “police officers in charge of autonomous police affairs” in Article 4 (1) of the Police Officials Appointment Order, the personnel authority of the municipal and provincial police committees is overshadowed.
 Fourth, Article 28 (3) of the Police Act stipulates, “The head of the city and provincial police shall take charge of autonomous police affairs under the direction and supervision of the city and provincial police committees.” However, it has become very difficult for the municipal and provincial police committees to exercise their command and supervision rights for local police affairs.
