Selected 90 Top Police Investigation Experts as 'Chief Investigators'... Certificate Awarded

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] The National Police Agency announced on the 3rd that it will hold a certificate awarding ceremony for 90 'Chief Investigators' selected through a strict process.

In line with the investigative authority reform, the police established the 'Investigator Qualification Management System' to enhance the expertise of investigative police officers. The Chief Investigator is the highest level among them, selected through a rigorous screening process from police officers with more than seven years of investigative experience, recognized as 'investigation experts.' However, considering this is the first selection, the police explained that candidates with over ten years of experience were selected this time.

In this Chief Investigator selection, 2,192 officers from police stations nationwide applied, and 90 (4.1%) who passed the exams, screenings, and completed training were finally selected. Notably, Sergeant Ji Woo-hyun and Sergeant Jeong Seong-sook of Bucheon Sosa Police Station under Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police Agency were honored as a married couple both selected as Chief Investigators.

A National Police Agency official stated, "We will continue to make greater efforts to become a responsible investigative agency that meets the public's expectations by enhancing the expertise of investigators."
