IPA를 활용한 경찰교육훈련 개선방안:경찰수사연수원 교육프로그램을 중심으로

Abstract

As of recent times, due to a phenomenon of our society rapidly changing politically, economically and socially, new demands for public security and training for professionals who can handle the changing law enforcement in an active manner are being desperately called for. The work of a law enforcement agency’s criminal investigations department is required to solve crimes that cannot be prevented through community policing and other means, and the general seriousness of crimes that find themselves under investigation by CID detectives mean that there is a high expectation of excellence from investigative officers. Through the currently debated reformation of the investigative structure, in order for the police to secure independent investigative power, the challenge of emphasis on the specialisation of investigation officers must be solved. This study shows the efforts made to reform a system to place emphasis on specialisation by investigative officers, and the measures needed in terms of training and education in order to achieve this aim. A review of the currently existing education and training programmes for investigative officers was made as well as a discussion on specialisation by examining the levels of understanding that current investigative officers have on the importance-performance of investigative training programmes. Through an IPA matrix analysis, the results of an inquiry into priorities in each field show that in the professional field of duty one of the notion and legislation programmes, ‘Understanding of Forensic Science’, and one of the practical programmes, ‘Understanding and Practice of Digital Evidence’, showed two quadrants with a high score on importance and a poor score on performance. Both have thus been demonstrated to be top priorities in reforming the education programme. Based on these results, executives in charge of investigative education must grasp the needs and wants of investigative officers by developing and delivering education and training that reflects these requirements, that heighten performance, and ultimately contribute to the specialisation of investigation officers.
