중경시기 대한민국 임시정부의 내무부 개편과 경찰기구

Abstract

In 1919, the police of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea was launched as the police bureau. Since then, the police of the provisional government have been changed on the basis of law and system. During the period of Shanghai, the police of the provisional government consisted of the Central Police Agency, the local police organization that consisted of the Gyeongmusa(警務司) and Uikyungdae(義警隊). In 1940, the police force was established, mainly in charge of protecting the provisional government, and was reorganized into the Gyeongmusa under the revised ‘Korea Provisional Government Enforcement Central Control System’. Organized in October 1941, the Gyeonweedae(警衛隊) was authorized to organize in 1943 under the Korean National Guard. And In 1944, the organization officially became a direct home affairs body in the undercover central government, along with the general affairs, civil affairs and public affairs. The captain of the guard was concurrently the chief of the police department. The main duty of the Gyeonwedae was to guard the Provisional Government building and to protect the factors. In 1945, members of the Gyeongmu department and Gyeonweedae were assigned special duties as the provisional government focused more on collecting information on the enemy and the initial work. In early 1945, a young man from a school soldier entered the Gyeonweedae. They were tasked with protecting the government and protecting the factors in the middle of the interim government. The last mission of Gyeonweedae was to return to their homeland, protecting the temporary government factor.
