Police Extend System for Collecting Information on Released Violent Crime Offenders Including Murder and Drugs for 3 More Years
Amendment Passed at the National Police Commission on the 4th
The police information collection system for major violent crime ex-offenders will be extended for another three years.
According to the police on the 5th, the National Police Commission held its 528th meeting the day before and passed a partial amendment ordinance to extend the validity period of the "Regulations on Information Collection Concerning Major Violent Crime Ex-Offenders" until December 31, 2026, for an additional three years.
The regulation, which was fully revised from the "Regulations on Intelligence Collection of High-Risk Individuals" established in 2005 and implemented on January 1, 2021, mandates the police to collect information on major violent crime ex-offenders at least once quarterly for the purpose of preventing recidivism and protecting victims.
Major violent crimes include murder, arson, abduction and luring, robbery, theft, drug-related crimes, and organized crime offenses. The information collection period is three years after release for drug-related crime ex-offenders and two years after release for other major violent crime ex-offenders.
Originally, there was a sunset clause stating that the regulation would be effective until December 31, 2023, to review changes in laws or actual conditions after issuance, but the amendment changes this validity period to December 31, 2026, extending its effect by three years.

To resolve human rights infringement controversies, when the regulation was revised in 2020, the target of information collection was changed from "high-risk individuals" to "major violent crime ex-offenders," the internal procedure for screening high-risk individuals subject to intelligence was abolished, and the intelligence collection period was reduced from 3?5 years to 2?3 years.
