경찰공무원 보수체계 개선에 관한 연구 -기본급을 중심으로

Abstract

The police are the state organs that perform the most basic and important tasks of protecting the lives, bodies and property of the people, and maintaining public well-being and order. In the point of view this importance, the police should be given remuneration commensurate with the task's specificity, such as its responsibilities, risks, difficulty and urgency. In reality, however, the police are not paid enough to meet the responsibilities and difficulties of their duties, and even lower than ordinary or public security officials with lower responsibilities and difficulty levels than the police in light of their job characteristics. Such problems with the remuneration system related to the salaries and allowances of police officers may be a factor that undermines the quality of police service by discouraging the desire to work, development of capabilities and morale despite the recruitment of excellent personnel. Given that the decline in light rail services is related to the quality of life of the people, the problem with the conservative system of police officials seems to have a sufficient need for improvement. The issue of the realisation of police officers' pay is directly affecting police officers' morale, and it is imperative to improve to implement policing policies that meet the needs of the people and to raise the quality level of policing services. In this study, we analyzed the current police officers' remuneration system and examined problems in the police officers' remuneration system, such as the basic salary lacking external fairness and the lack of internal fairness and the lack of regulations according to the level of rank, and suggested reasonable improvement measures for them.
