Abstract

On the behalf of enhancing community policing, the extending of police box in Korean police made police working-shift system converted “two of four teams system” to “two of three teams system”, which results in police officers’ condemnation since it worsens their working environment. Local police providing a primary police service for their residents also need to develop crime prevention measures in order to respond resident’s demands immediately. Suggested measures in order to solve these problems, Korean police are nowadays operating “the flexible working shift system” based on the communities’ needs about public order. Thus, the purpose of this study aims to develop improving measures based on the analysis of various problems in the field where new working shift system were introduced. Based on results, there are getting large complaints from field officers since broken the old system of work-shift. New system bring a reduction of work-time which may result in income loss and highlight fatigue of police officers working in a night shift. In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to consider the introduction of an incentive system based on police officers’ working levels in a community, the local police agencies’ right to decide working shift system depending on their demands of public order, and the self-selected working schedule system of local police officers.
