Abstract

Recently, crime has become wide - ranging, intelligent, and diversified, and the technique has been developing day by day. Scientific knowledge and equipment, such as investigation methods, are also developing along with these crime methods. The development of these scientific investigations has played a major role in police investigations. In addition, the judicial environment is changed to trials, and the use of physical evidence through scientific investigation is increasing. Despite these developments, however, various problems are now being raised in the police investigation. As a result, the National Police Agency has been hiring special investigators for special investigations since 2013, and the Police Investigation and Training Institute is also conducting programs related to scientific investigation for specialized education. However, since the special recruitment criteria of scientific investigators are not required to have knowledge of natural sciences and forensic science, which is distant from the expertise of scientific investigation, In addition, difficulties have arisen due to site input such as site damage. Education and training also have problems such as low number of education and lack of practical education focused on theoretical education. Therefore, this study analyzes the problems of special recruitment and training of scientific investigators as a way to expand the expertise of scientific investigation experts and suggests ways to improve them.
