경찰경호시스템의 발전방안에 관한 연구

Abstract

Traditionally, keeping the public peace and order maintenance are the core mission of the police. There are many different VIP security systems in the world according to their historical and political background, for example, police initiated model, military forces, police and military mixture or intelligence organization, etc. As a whole G7 countries excluding U.S.A., most of them adopted police initiated model for VIP security. During the modernization era, the continental law and police system had much influenced on Korean. According to the material police concept from the standpoint of continental view, VIP security duty fundamentally belongs to the ordinary police. So from 1894 to 1960, the duty of VIP security belonged to the general uniform police function. However, through the political upheaval(5.16 Revolution) in 1961, special security forces which were strongly oriented to military took over the duty of ordinary police in Korea. At that time the Korean Presidential Security Service(PSS) was modelled on U.S.A. Secret Service. Nowadays Korean PSS which is formally different from the ordinary police initiatively perform it's security mission. The Korean police perform their security mission on VIP secondarily, even though they have much more responsibility for that than any other governmental organizations. Today the role of police in VIP security is regarded as very important thing. So the security officers' duty specialization, it's effectiveness, and improvement in personnel management are heavily needed. Especially, the police reorganization on VIP security is also strongly required. In my essay, I have introduced the origin of Korean policing on security duty and comparatively analysed the G7 countries' VIP security system. Through this study I am going to suggest more reasonable police organization which is responsible for VIP security.
