President Moon's SNS Message on Police Day

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] President Moon Jae-in encouraged the police to strengthen their capabilities on their own, saying "Many citizens trust the police" on the occasion of the 76th Police Day.

On the 21st, President Moon stated this through a social network service (SNS) message, saying, "This year is the inaugural year of the autonomous police system."

President Moon said, "With the introduction of the Korean-style autonomous police system, autonomous police committees have been launched in 18 cities and provinces, establishing decentralized, community-based grassroots policing," and added, "I support our police, who have started a new leap forward along with the 30th anniversary of the promotion of the National Police Agency."

President Moon instructed, "Many citizens trust the police. Therefore, the police themselves must further strengthen their capabilities," and emphasized, "We must thoroughly protect socially vulnerable groups such as victims of child abuse, domestic violence, and stalking crimes, and safeguard citizens' lives from new types of crimes in cyberspace."

He also stressed human rights issues, saying, "The human rights action guidelines must also be fully established as part of police culture."

President Moon stated, "The government will support the police so that they can carry out their given responsibilities with pride," and added, "We will assist active mission performance through legal and institutional protection and honor the tragic sacrifices with the highest respect."
