The scheme for the introduction of the autonomous police system, which the Moon Jae-in government pursued in parallel with decentralization, has been completed.

A municipal and provincial police committee, which is a consensus-based administrative body, will be established in each city and province, and the headquarters of the local police force's self-police force and an autonomous police force the size of the police force. a police officer will be created to handle public safety issues.

Currently, 43,000 national police officers are successively badigned to the autonomous police and autonomous police systems will be introduced throughout the country by 2020 and pilot operations will be conducted in five regions, including Seoul, Sejong and Jeju, the next year.

The Presidential Committee on the Decentralization of the President of the Republic of Korea held an orientation debate at the Seoul government headquarters in Seoul to discuss the establishment of an autonomous police system comprising 150 people, including organizations, organizations, organizations, corporations and related citizens. And the public relations process started seriously. The measures announced by the committee are summarized as follows: organization and management of the workforce, political neutrality, distribution of offices and financial support measures.

The most important thing to consider is the organization and management system of the autonomous police workforce. First, the Autonomous Police Headquarters has been established in cities and provinces as a model of the Metropolitan Autonomous Police System, and the "Autonomous Police Force" in cities, counties and districts.

Police officers belonging to the national police station will be transferred to the autonomous police according to the distribution of the office. The state police will reduce the number of organizations and personnel involved, but will conduct "local patrols" for serious and urgent cases.

In the case of manpower and clerical work, it is gradually transferred to the autonomous police. First, 7,000 to 8,000 people will be transferred to five regions, including Seoul, Sejong and Jeju, where the autonomous police system will be tested next year. In the city of Sejong, which does not have local police department, a "Sejong District Police Department" will be established to facilitate the pilot operation.

In 2021, 70 to 80 per cent of all related cases and 30,000 to 35,000 people are transferred to the police force. In 2022, when the autonomous police will be transferred to 100%, 43,000 people will work as independent police officers.

However, this staff will retain its current police status and will be transformed into local jobs sequentially. After 2022, the governor of the city or province will be responsible for the selection and training of new staff.

The head of the autonomous police department and the head of the autonomous police force will be appointed by the governor of the city or province on the recommendation of the new police committee of the city or province and will listen to the opinions of the city, I think.

The autonomous police will be responsible for investigating public security activities such as personal safety, transportation and local expenses, as well as violence, violence at school, domestic violence, road accidents, drunk driving and obstruction of public service. The national police focuses on information, security, foreign affairs and investigations. The current local police system is maintained and operated separately from the headquarters of the autonomous police.

The "Municipal and Provincial Committee", which has just been created to guarantee the political neutrality of the autonomous police and the abuse of the local governor's authority, operates in the form of a consensual administrative body. The municipal and provincial police do not admit direct directors or supervisors of municipal and provincial police duties.

The members of the municipal and provincial committees are appointed by the provincial governor and the provincial council is responsible for the supervision of the five provincial and municipal committees (a municipal council, a provincial governor, a municipal and county council, a court, an officer of the national police). .

In some cases, however, the committee functions officially as a consensual system and controls the city / provincial governor and the autonomous police, but it is possible that the city and the governor may exercise influence over the committee.

Kim Soon-eun, chairman of the autonomous police committee, said: "There have been different opinions on the issue of neutrality and tried to find the most effective way."

In the meantime, the State will badume the budget necessary for the implementation of the autonomous police system. The pilot project budget will initially be funded by the government, and the long-term plan will be to consider setting up a system of grants to the autonomous police. After the implementation of the law in 2022, the municipality must secure the corresponding budget.

In the future, the Committee on Autonomous Decentralization will gather the views of all parties after the debate and, by the end of the month, will deliberate and vote for the committee and finalize the government's proposal. If the government plans to introduce the government, the ministry will draw up a detailed plan of action based on this plan, develop legislation in the first half of next year and launch the pilot project starting in the second half of the year.

"The autonomous police reflects the current era of autonomous decentralization and is building a safer Republic of Korea." We will do our best to put in place an autonomous police system that responds to the values ​​of autonomous decentralization and the voice of the people. "He said.
