After greeting the police officers, 18 people → 4… “Reviewing the standards for general grade odorants”
We are also planning to expand rotational personnel next year... Working level application and living support must be solved together
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Ji-eun Han = Approximately one out of four police officers, the rank of front-line police chief, was found to work in the area where the high school from which he or she graduated is located.
With the police applying the 'locality system' to high-ranking personnel to avoid working in their hometown, a challenge has emerged: how to manage local connections through school in subsequent personnel appointments.
According to data submitted by the office of Rep. Lee Sang-sik of the Democratic Party of Korea from the National Police Agency on the 5th, among the 727 police officers as of the end of August this year, 171 had the same high school location and work area, or 23.5% of the total. Work areas were calculated at the metropolitan city/province level.
By region, 13 out of 35 police officers (37.1%) who graduated from high schools in Chungbuk and 11 out of 30 police officers (36.7%) who graduated from high schools in Gangwon are working in the region.
In Seoul, it was 18 out of 88 (20.5%), and in Jeju, it was 4 out of 18 (22.2%).
In the case of police officers, 1,361 (40.4%) out of a total of 3,368 people were counted as working in the same area as their high school.

In the second half of this year, the police applied a retirement system that excludes police officers and above from working in the provincial or provincial office based on their place of origin and the provincial or provincial office in which they were promoted.
In principle, the place of origin is managed by the location of the high school. However, exceptions may be granted in consideration of hardships such as illness.
As of the 1st of this month, after the personnel changes, among the total 100 police officers, the number of people with the same high school location and city/province office as the one they worked at was 4, down from 18 at the end of August. The number of police inspectors also decreased from 5 to 0 during the same period.
Regarding the criteria for judging the ranks and connections for which the National Police Agency applies the incense system, it said, "The incense system has been applied to personnel above the rank of police sergeant to strengthen the fairness and reliability of police work," and added, "We are reviewing detailed standards for the superintendent level."
In addition, the police is also seeking to expand personnel rotation in the first half of next year, taking advantage of the controversy over poor investigation and collusion surrounding the 'Jang Yoon-ki incident'.
While the hyangpi system is a system that limits work locations based on hometown and promotion office, rotational personnel is a measure to manage long-term work in the same region or government office.
Accordingly, the task of personnel reform is to exclude high-ranking officials from working in their hometowns and specify long-term management of working-level executives.
The National Police Workplace Council, an alternative organization to police officers' unions, opposes the expansion of rotational personnel due to the economic burden and decreased professionalism caused by long-distance commuting.
In an internal survey conducted by the National Police Agency last August, 85.4% of the 9,611 participating police officers expressed a negative stance on the rotational personnel system due to the burden of long-distance commuting and raising children and decreased work professionalism.
The police plans to secure a budget to support residence and transportation expenses and to revise related regulations and city/provincial office personnel management rules, while additionally collecting opinions from the cooperative and other organizations and reporting to the Investigation Reform Committee to prepare a final plan.
Rep. Lee Sang-sik said, "Some anti-inflammatory agents and rotational personnel are necessary to prevent collusion," but suggested, "As they have a big impact on an individual's life, they need to be applied flexibly according to the characteristics of the department so that on-site responsiveness and work efficiency do not decrease."
