Abstract

In December 2020, the Police Ac t was amended as the National Police and Au t o n o m o u s Police Organization and Operation Ac t , and in July 2021, the autonomous police system was introduced to the metropolitan police Agencies. Since the establishment of the government of the Republic of Ko r e a in 1948, it has been operated as a national police system. For the first time, the autonomous police system was introduced to the metropolitan municipali ti es. The purpose of introducing such a autonomous police system is to secure the political neutrality of the police and to protect the freedom and rights of the people by operating democratically. However, it is true that the autonomous police system introduced this time has a fundamental limitations despite its historical significance and purpose. This is because political dynamics, especially the interests of the ruling party, were reflected in the introduction of the autonomous police system. Therefore, it was introduced to the level of establishing a metropolitan police committee that transfers part of the national police affairs to the autonomous police affairs and deliberates and resolves it whi le maintaining the existing organization, personnel and budget structure of the national police. Moreover, there are a lot of problems such as political neutrality, professionalism, and regional balance in the composition and appointment of committee members of the metropoli tan autonomous police committee established to take charge of the autonomous police affairs. In addition, it is difficult to guarantee the effectiveness of the committee's exercise of command and supervision over the city and provincial police chief and the personnel rights to the city and provincial police chief. In this regard, the autonomous police system introduced this time is not an unemployed autonomous police officer. In order for the autonomous police system to be settled in practice, it is necessary to review the purpose and system of introduction from the mid & long-term perspective. The specific contents of this study are to establish an independent autonomous police agency and to appoint a autonomous police officer. An d it is necessary to systematically manage the political neutrality and regional balance of the autonomous police committee that manages the autonomous police affairs at the central government level.
