자치경찰제의 성공적인 시행을 위한초기 운영의 쟁점 분석

Abstract

With the introduction of the autonomous police system by the Moon Jae-in government, local governments are expected to provide local-specific public security services that reflect the needs of residents and comprehensive public security services through linking local administration and public security administration. The purpose of this study was to analyze the issues of the initial operation of the autonomous police system and to suggest improvement plans for the local police committee, which is a key organization for the successful implementation of the autonomous police system. To this end, a survey was conducted from July 1st to July 15th, 2021 on the organization and operation of the local police committee, personnel rights, budgetary rights, scope and linkage of the affairs targeting 18 local police committees.
 Based on the survey results, policy recommendations for the successful implementation of the autonomous police system were presented. First, it may be considered to allocate the recommended number of committee members to each recommendation institution in order to secure diversity of the local police committees. Second, the National Police Agency should cooperatively share personnel and budget information with the local police committees. Third, the independent personnel rights management system within the local police committee should be prospectively reviewed. Fourth, it is necessary to come up with various financial support measures that allow local governments to independently operate them. Fifth, it is necessary to continuously discuss improvement plans for local police affairs by reflecting the opinions and experiences of national police officers who perform local police affairs in the field. Sixth, for the personnel and budgetary authority of the local police committee to be effectively exercised, the facilities･manpower･budget of the national police must be completely transferred to the local governments.
