[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] The National Police Commission held a commemorative event on the 14th at the Seoul Garden Hotel to mark its 30th anniversary. The National Police Commission was established in 1991 to ensure the political neutrality of the police and the democratic and fair administration of police affairs.

The event consisted of a ceremony and an academic forum, aiming to enhance the status of the National Police Commission, which has developed alongside the police as a democratic control body, and to explore ways to open a new era of policing.

At the academic conference held under the theme "The Role and Tasks of the National Police Commission," opinions were expressed that the commission's role needs to be reorganized. Professor Kim Seong-tae of Hongik University stated, "The National Police Commission should reorganize its role to match its original status of contributing to the political neutrality and democratic control of the police, and establish a system that ensures fair and democratic police operations through continuous supplementation and strengthening of its authority."

Kim Ho-cheol, Chairman of the National Police Commission, said, "On the occasion of the 30th anniversary, we will continue to strive to strengthen the status and role of the National Police Commission," adding, "We will do our best as a watchdog and supporter of public security administration so that the police maintain political neutrality and truly become the people's police."
