South Korean regional police oversight reforms

Overview

Regional police agencies in South Korea are implementing new measures to enhance public safety and strengthen oversight following concerns regarding investigative failures.

In Jeju, the Jeju Police Agency is doubling the size of its missing persons investigation teams and enforcing a ‘face-to-face termination principle’ to prevent improper case closures. This plan includes increased patrols and enhanced protection for victims of relationship-based crimes.

In Daegu, the head of the Daegu Police Agency has pledged to implement a ‘multi-layered management’ system to ensure cases are monitored by multiple levels of leadership rather than individual officers. Priorities include addressing crimes against the elderly, cybercrimes, stalking, and domestic violence.
