Police Agency Open Auditor Again from Board of Audit and Inspection... 13 Years of Monopoly

[Asia Economy Reporters Seongpil Cho, Gyumin Oh] It has been revealed that another current official from the Board of Audit and Inspection (BAI) has been appointed to the position of Inspector General at the National Police Agency. Despite being an open position subject to public competition, the role has been monopolized by bureaucrats from the BAI for over 10 years.

According to the police on the 31st, the National Police Agency hired Mr. A, a BAI employee, as an open Inspector General on the 24th. Since the implementation of the open audit organization system (Public Audit Act) in 2010, the open Inspector General position at the National Police Agency, which is recruited every two years, has been held exclusively by current BAI officials for 13 years. The term for the Inspector General at the National Police Agency is two years, and the position corresponds to a senior public official (Grade B).

The open Inspector General positions in government ministries, including the National Police Agency, undergo a selection exam conducted by the Central Selection Committee of the Ministry of Personnel Management. The committee selects five candidates through document screening and then recommends the final three candidates to each ministry after interviews, where the respective ministry proceeds with the hiring process. Previously, the National Police Agency announced the recruitment for this Inspector General position in October last year and has been conducting the hiring process since then.
