경찰관서장 개방형 임용 정책에 대한 국민 인식과 수용성에 관한 연구

초록

Since its introduction in 1999, the open position system has been expanded throughout the public office, and the police organization is also changing into a flexible personnel system, such as the operation of high-ranking public officials and the introduction of open positions. As a result, discussions on the open appointment of police officers are increasing, but research on how the public perceives this is insufficient. In this study, through a survey, the degree of perception, acceptability, necessity and expected effects, the scope of openness, preferred personnel, internal influence of the organization, and the possibility of introduction were analyzed. As a result of the study, the public sympathized with the basic purpose of the open appointment system, but showed a cautious attitude toward the open appointment of the police chief position. There were high expectations that the open appointment would bring positive changes to the public and police organizations, but there were also considerable concerns about a decrease in morale and a reduction in promotion opportunities within the police organization. In addition, when open appointments were introduced, there was a clear tendency to prefer former police officers with understanding and expertise in police organizations and professors in police-related departments, and as for the scope of opening, the opinions of 'full introduction of police chief or higher' and 'opposition to open appointments' showed conflicting patterns. Based on these research results, it is necessary to consider a plan to introduce a pilot system centered on the head of an educational institution such as the head of a police university or the head of the police talent development center, rather than introducing the open appointment of the head of the police officer entirely. In addition, in consideration of opposition within the police organization, supplementary measures should be prepared to ensure promotion opportunities and boost morale.
