A Study on the Utilization Community Policing to the Decentralized Police System

The Korean Police System had changed from the National Police System to the Decentralized Police System. Unlike other countries, the affairs are divided into national police affairs, investigation affairs, and autonomous affairs, and the status of police officer has not the local official but the national public official. A precedent study in Korea and foreign cases analyzed that police activities in community relations had a positive effect on at least community public order satisfaction and public order status resolution, and suggested a direction when current police activities were combined with community policing. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to suggest an efficient activation strategy of community policing by based on cases of community policing activities conducted in foreign countries. As a result of this study, the direction of the current decentralized police activities is obscured, and the reflection of regional characteristic is insufficient. In addition, enforcement of outward decentralized police activities and promotion of decentralized police activities is insufficient.
