On the morning of the same day, Cho attended the temporary meeting of the Police Commission for appointment recommendation consent and said, "It seems that the public's expectations for the police are greater than ever," adding, "I will confidently answer with the vision and beliefs I have held so far."

Cho graduated from the 6th class of the Korean National Police University and has served as Chief of the Seocho Police Station in Seoul, Director of the Public Safety Information Bureau of the National Police Agency, and Deputy Commissioner General of the National Police Agency. During President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol's transition period, he was dispatched to the Presidential Transition Committee and was in charge of personnel verification.

The Commissioner General of the National Police Agency is appointed by the President through the Prime Minister upon the recommendation of the Minister of the Interior and Safety with the consent of the Police Commission. Although the Commissioner General holds a vice-ministerial rank, the appointment requires a confirmation hearing by the National Assembly.
