Gwangju Gwangsan Police Station Economic Crime Investigation Team Switches to '24-Hour Shift System'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Gwangsan Police Station in Gwangju is handling economic cases under a '24-hour work system' without any gaps.

On the 20th, Gwangju Gwangsan Police Station announced that since last month, the Investigation Division's Economic Crime Investigation Team has been converted into an active duty department (24-hour work system).

One investigation team takes turns staying on duty during nights and holidays, strengthening capabilities in consulting and investigating economic cases for civil petitioners, as well as responding to voice phishing incidents.

Since the adjustment of investigative authority between the police and prosecution last year, there has been an internal perception that this is an undesirable department due to increased workload, but it is expected that the introduction of the active duty system will also improve the working conditions of investigators.

An investigator said, "It is highly satisfactory that investigations after regular weekday hours or on weekends, as requested by civil petitioners, have become possible, and investigators are also satisfied because they can focus on handling their cases on duty days,” adding, “Since sufficient rest is guaranteed after duty, it seems that work efficiency is improving.”

Investigation Division Chief Kang In-gu emphasized, “Since the police’s investigative capabilities have been put to the test by the public after the adjustment of investigative authority, we will make relentless efforts to provide the public with ‘trustworthy and fair investigations.’”
