[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the National Police Agency launched a working-level consultative body on police system improvement on the 8th.

The two organizations had been informally consulting regarding the recommendations announced by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's 'Police System Improvement Advisory Committee' on June 21, but decided to formalize this by operating the consultative body as a communication channel for mutual dialogue.

This working-level consultative body includes the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's Policy Planning Officer and Police System Improvement Task Force (TF) Manager, as well as the National Police Agency's Planning and Coordination Officer and Innovation Planning and Coordination Officer as core members, with related department heads participating depending on the agenda. The consultative body will operate from this day until deemed necessary.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety explained, "Through the consultative body, the two organizations will exchange opinions on the advisory committee's recommendations, including the establishment of a police affairs organization within the Ministry, the enactment of command regulations by the Minister of the Interior and Safety for affiliated agency heads, transparency in police personnel procedures, and expansion of infrastructure related to police work."
