변경된 경찰공무원 채용시험의 현황분석 및 개선방안에 관한 연구

Abstract

Revised police recruitment examination is one of the most biggest issues in police recruit system. There has been controversies and concern about the examination. In this context, this study aims at suggesting improvement plans and indicating problems of revised police recruitment examination by analyzing police recruiting before and after revision of the examination. After revision of the examination, the rate of applicants, who took three existing required subjects, is 50-60%, and the rate of applicants, who took three general subjects, is around 10%. In addition, the rate of written test not taken has increased 2-4%, and the rate of applicants, who did not take written test and chose more than two general subject, is more than 20%. The rate of applicants, who passed a written test of required subjects but did not take a physical test, is 1%(first examination in 2015). However, the rate of applicants, who pass a written test of general subjects but did not take a physical test, is very high (men: 38%, women: 49%). It turns out that the rate, of physical test not taken and of failure in test, of applicants who chose general subjects, is higher than applicants who chose required subjects. According to this analysis, the problem of applicants who chose general subjects has been identified: the high rate of test not taken, voluntarily leaving police academy, inappropriate purpose of revised police recruiting, fairness of setting questions for the examination. This study suggests the improvement plans on the assumption that the police recruiting system will be change: abolition of selection subjects in the examination, introducing special recruiting process. In addition, this study also suggests the improvement plans within existing system: restriction of academic ability, maintaining the level of difficulty in the examination, placing physical test into the primary test.
