ABSTRACT

The Municipal Police System can facilitate democratic and decentralized police activities as a key element of the local government. Its significance can be found to obtain the quality of services through citizen participation. Accordingly, the legal basis for the introduction of the municipal police system was established by ensuring linkages of local administration and policing administration in the 「Special Act on decentralization advancement」, and regulating the introduction of the municipal police system to provide appropriate policing services to local characteristics. However, in order to conduct a municipal police system, challenges on handling the issues, such as introduction unit, secretary allocation, securing an investigation, and financial burden, are still being debated. This paper discusses these key issues based on Jeju municipal policy system's cases. Based on the qualitative assessment on Jeju municipal police system, we find the implications for the implementation of the municipal police system. First, it is necessary to specialize in the peculiar business and functions of the municipal police system. Second, the authority of the municipal police system should be expanded. Third, a plan for stable funding should be drawn up.
