Abstract

Starting from 2019, the system will be first implemented for male and female applicants for the National Police University and the National Police Agency, and it is expected that a combined selection of new police officers will also take place. Therefore, the study wanted to see the status of the U.S. police system, which applies the criteria for gender-unified physical fitness tests in most states, and the Japanese police`s physical fitness test system, which limits the number of female and female police officers, and dual standards for physical fitness tests. Unlike Korea and Japan, which restricts the number of women who hire police officers, in the United States, no policy has been implemented since the 1960s and 1970s to limit the number of female employees. Since it is very difficult to prove whether a Bona Fide Occurational Qualification (BFOQ) in the performance of police duties, the government has abolished the gender limit policy. If the number of female police officers is not limited by the abolition of gender separation, it is important to see whether the standard of employment, especially the standard of physical fitness test, will be equal. The claim that the standard of one-sided physical fitness test will adversely affect women`s acceptance rate has been used as a basis for the recruitment of gender separation. The United Kingdom and Australia, including more than 70 percent of the U.S. National Police Agency, apply the fitness test standards independently of gender. If the government abolishes the policy on limiting the number of female employees, it will apply the one-size-fits-all standard because controversy over reverse discrimination in the physical fitness test standards is growing. JAPPA, a Japanese police official`s physical fitness test system, does not have a standard for each age group of police officers and applies the same standard for all male and female police officers.
