여성 경찰 선발 및 체력검사제도 고찰: 미국 ․ 프랑스 ․ 일본 ․ 대만을 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to find out what the Korean police, who are scheduled to recruit men and women, will learn from these countries by examining the policewoman's selection system and physical examination by the US, France, Japan and Taiwan police. First, the gender hiring and recruitment system for police men and women there is no official policy to limit the number of female police officers recruited in the United States, France, and Taiwan except Japan. This abolished the gender cap because it is very difficult to prove whether a male gender is a BFOQ in the conduct of police duties. Second, in reviewing the unification of men and women in physical examinations, the question of whether to apply the physical examination standards on the same basis has emerged as a major issue in the West, which does not limit the number of female police officers. Twenty-four percent of the US National Police Agency still has been found that fitness test criteria vary by gender, and this policy is aimed at recruiting competent female applicants to improve the size and the level of the female applicant pool. In France, improvements have been made to the job-related items, which emphasized the elimination of gender discrimination and rapidity, agility and coordination in the Police Physical Fitness Test. Japan has limited the number of women in the selection of new police officers, and the physical examination standards is also dualized by gender, while the physical examination of existing police officers is conducted by unifying a new measurement method called JAPPAT. JAPPAT does not set the standard for police officer age and applies the same standard regardless of gender. Although Taiwan has abolished the police restriction on the female police number of people, the physical examination standards are applied differently according to gender. However, as the ratio of women among new hires soared, the opinion that the standard of physical examination should be unified or that women's physical examination standards should be increased was confirmed in the administration or the police.
