국가경찰위원회 실질화 방안에 관한 연구 -민주성ㆍ전문성 확보방안을 중심으로-

Abstract

The Police Act emphasizes democracy and efficiency in police administration, and the Korean National Police Commission is established as the final deliberation and decision-making body for such police administration. In other words, the Korean National Police Commission should be structured so that the police organization can achieve this purpose well, and it is necessary to secure expertise to enable efficient operation as well as democratic control through practical exercise of authority. However, the National Police Commission has not received much attention compared to its importance, despite the fact that it contains various problems, such as problems related to the selection of members and restrictions on the exercise of practical powers. This study examines the problems in the composition and operation of the Korean National Police Commission so far, and argues that democracy and expertise must be secured to achieve the legislative purpose of the Korean National Police Commission system. To this end, first, a plan to secure democratic and expertise in the selection of committee members was suggested. In addition, it was proposed to organizate an expert committee members to assist the committee in order to strengthen its expertise. Finally, it was proposed to improve the system to enable practical exercise of recommendation beyond the current formal authority to consent to appointment of the Commissioner General of the National Police Agency.
