Police 'Photo Line' Also to Disappear... Police Commission Approves Amendment to Public Relations Rules
[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] Following the prosecution, the police will also reflect the principle of banning the installation of 'photo lines' in the public relations regulations.
According to the National Police Agency on the 9th, the Police Commission deliberated and approved a partial amendment to the 'Regulations on Public Relations Concerning Police Investigation Cases' containing this content at the Police Commission meeting on the afternoon of the 7th.
The amendment first deleted the provision that served as the basis for installing photo lines. It also codified the prohibition of informing the media in advance about the attendance schedules and other information of persons involved in cases.
However, official photo line coverage is permitted for suspects whose identity disclosure has been decided through the Personal Information Disclosure Review Committee.
