Abstract

Recently, as national interest in security like school violence, victim protection, or crime prevention is increasing, general and preprescriptions rather than post-approaches to crime are being more highlighted. Therefore, it is the periodic demand to build multiple organizations’ cooperative system in a local community to discuss regional security issues and grope for solutions collaboratively. In particular, with the advent of the decentralization age, there is more demand to solve regional security issues in consideration of a region’s specific situations. Thereby, the National Police Agency organized ‘the Regional Security Council’ in February, 2008 and produced visible fruition as establishing the law and order to expand security infrastructure and conducting activities to form a bond of sympathy for security, so the importance of the Regional Security Council is getting greater now. However, despite the visible fruition of it, the Regional Security Council has recently been excluded from the evaluation of general security results, so its driving force has been weakened; thus, now its mere formal operation is pointed out as a problem. Thereupon, this study figures out the problems of the Regional Security Council by evaluating the actual operation of the Regional Security Council. And it intends to suggest directions to enhance its functions and roles as a private cooperation organization worthy of its fame. To attain the goal, this study used Delphi Method to collect related experts’ intuitions and opinions three times based on quantitative and qualitative analysis. As a result, the level of its operational appropriateness was lower than the average in terms of ‘the differentiation from existing consultative groups or cooperation groups’, ‘forming the bond of sympathy with related agencies’, ‘degree of solving current issues in a local community’, ‘related organizations’ ‘cooperative handling skills’, ‘reflecting the agenda or the current problems and issues of the region at the meeting’, ‘sharing information on the agenda’, and ‘activating programs and holding meetings for cooperation regarding schools or sexual violence’. In order to activate the Regional Security Council afterwards, it will be needed to be improved in terms of the above eight items. Thereupon, based on the above findings of this paper, this study suggests directions to active the Regional Security Council from three aspects : the Regional Security Council’s organizational operation and cooperation, the Regional Security Council’s reasonable agenda provision and conference operation, and activities(or programs).
