Another Postponed Recommendation on the Abolition of the Police University... Extension of the Police System Development Committee's Activities

Until the end date 'Upon Committee Resolution to Terminate'

The Police System Development Committee was unable to reach a conclusion on key issues such as the continuation or abolition of the Korean National Police University and decided to extend the committee’s duration to continue discussions.

On the 23rd, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety held the 12th meeting of the ‘Police System Development Committee’ at the Government Seoul Office and announced the outcomes.

At this meeting, along with supplementary recommendations originally planned for discussion, the committee reviewed opinions from some members regarding the extension of the committee’s duration, and received departmental reports on the introduction progress and future plans of the presumed line-of-duty injury system.

The meeting was intended to summarize the discussions so far and to supplement and announce the Police System Development Committee’s recommendations.

However, some agenda items still had disagreements, and for those items where consensus was reached, there was a need to supplement some detailed and specific aspects.

Additionally, although some subcommittee members prepared improvement plans through field visits, there was an opinion that broader stakeholder feedback should be gathered through additional field visits involving all committee members.

Accordingly, the committee decided to extend its duration, which was originally set to expire on the 5th of next month. The end date was set to ‘upon the committee’s resolution to conclude’ to allow sufficient discussion of the agenda items, and recommendations that have completed discussions may be announced in advance.

The Police System Development Committee is currently discussing ▲measures to strengthen the capabilities of field police officers, ▲the dual system of autonomous police, ▲restructuring plans for the National Police Commission, ▲supplementary measures for the command and supervision system of the National Police Agency by the Minister of the Interior and Safety, and ▲restructuring plans for the Korean National Police University.

Meanwhile, the Police System Development Committee has discussed various agenda items related to the development of the police system, and some items have been completed through reporting and discussion, including amendments to related laws and regulations.
