The first round of promotions to Senior Superintendent (Chonggyeong) this year has been conducted. The police, who began high-level personnel appointments earlier this month, plan to proceed with the transfer of Senior Superintendents as early as the end of this month. It appears that the personnel backlog, which had been delayed by four months, will be somewhat resolved.

On the 23rd, the National Police Agency announced that 102 Inspectors (Gyeongjeong) have been selected as candidates for promotion to Senior Superintendent. The rank of Senior Superintendent, often referred to as the "flower of the police," corresponds to the position of commander, such as the head of a local police station or a department head at a city or provincial police agency.

This round of Senior Superintendent promotion candidates includes Minseong Gil, head of the Drug Crime Investigation Division at the National Police Agency; Seungwoon Lee, head of the Cyber Terrorism Response Division at the National Police Agency; Hyeongeon Song, head of Public Affairs and Cooperation at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency; Taewan Ko, head of Public Crime Investigation Division 1 at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency; Gyutak Lee, head of Crime Prevention and Response at Jungnang Police Station in Seoul; and Jisook Yoon, head of the Women and Juvenile Affairs Division at Gwangjin Police Station in Seoul, among others.

Typically, Senior Superintendent promotions are carried out at the end or beginning of the year, but this year, they were delayed by about four months. With the high-level appointments in early April, the transfer of Commissioners on the 17th, and this round of Senior Superintendent promotions, it appears that the personnel delays are being resolved. Transfers of Senior Superintendents, including those promoted, are expected to take place between the end of this month and the beginning of next month.

By affiliation, 25 were promoted from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, and 20 from the National Police Agency headquarters. In addition, the following promotions were made: 7 from Gyeonggi Nambu Police Agency and Busan Police Agency; 5 from Incheon Police Agency; 4 each from Gwangju, Chungnam, Gyeongnam, and Jeonnam Police Agencies; 3 each from Gyeonggi Bukbu, Daegu, Daejeon, Gyeongbuk, and Jeonbuk Police Agencies; 2 each from Gangwon and Chungbuk Police Agencies; and 1 each from Ulsan, Sejong, and Jeju Police Agencies.
