Analysis of Police Disaster Management Activities After the Implementation of the Autonomous Police System: Focusing on Media Reports

The police are primarily engaged in maintaining public safety and order. In the past, police activities were focused on criminal law, but with the introduction of the Autonomous Police System in South Korea, there is an increasing demand for police to play a social role in the prevention and elimination of risks. This role extends beyond maintaining public security to include disaster response and various safety areas, highlighting the importance of the police's role in disaster management and safety within local communities. This study analyzes police activities related to disasters following the implementation of the Autonomous Police System, discussing the role of the police in disaster management. To achieve this, a text analysis was conducted based on media reports concerning police disaster-related activities, allowing for an examination of trends and roles performed in disaster management. The findings provide insights into the police's disaster management role in the context of the ongoing implementation of the Autonomous Police System.
