The number of foreign residents who live in Korea is more than one million and the number of temporary foreigners visiting the Korea is expected to exceed over 15 million. Therefore, in order to select a police officer who can play an appropriate role in the era of globalization, it is necessary to overhaul and improve the police English test in a large scale. The need for English in speaking and listening used in everyday vocabulary has been raised, and it seems to be the most realistic alternative at present to replace the existing police English test with the internationally recognized English proficiency test to improve these problems. Furthermore, based on various research and development, the Korean police officer's accredited certification test combining the ESP(English for Special Purpose) for police should be developed so as to improve and make the English examination suitable for the globalization era.
