Ministry of Land and Ministry of Justice Sign Business Agreement to Apprehend 'Electronic Supervision Targets'

[Asia Economy Reporter Minyoung Kim] The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Ministry of Justice announced on the 14th that they will sign a memorandum of understanding at the Railway Special Judicial Police Unit (Daejeon) under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

The signing ceremony was held with the attendance of related officials, including Lim Jong-il, Director of Railway Safety Policy at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and Yoon Woong-jang, Director of Crime Prevention Policy Bureau at the Ministry of Justice.

There have been concerns that even when electronic monitoring subjects damaged their electronic devices and fled by train, there was no cooperation system such as information sharing between the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Ministry of Justice, making inter-agency cooperation necessary to apprehend fugitives. As of the end of last year, there were approximately 4,316 electronic monitoring subjects.

Accordingly, the two agencies agreed to establish a cooperation system by signing the memorandum of understanding, including ▲ establishing a hotline for rapid information sharing regarding incidents of electronic device damage by electronic monitoring subjects between probation offices and the railway police unit, and ▲ regular joint drills for responding to device damage.

Through this, it is expected that a stronger cooperative relationship can be built between the Railway Special Judicial Police Unit under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Special Judicial Police for Electronic Monitoring under the Ministry of Justice in responding to device damage incidents and serious crimes such as sexual violence involving electronic monitoring subjects.
