프랑스, 미국, 일본의 자치경찰제와 비교법적 검토

The police system is a historical, political, and socio-cultural fruit of a nation. The debate on the introduction of the municipal police system in the Republic of Korea based on the National Police System began with the introduction of the American police system based on the strictly decentralized municipal police system under the US military in 1945-1948. After a long discussion, in 2006, the “participatory government” has introduced the municipal police groups which is organized and operated based on the “Special Law for the Establishment of Jeju Special Self-Governing Province and the Creation of Free International City”. Since the introduction of the Jeju municipal Police in recent decades, it works as the police assistance having no effect on the distribution of police rights, resulting in waste of financial resources due to redundant office work with the national police, Which is the only criticism of the 'pattern-only municipal police. ‘In the Government MOON’, as a plan of realization of national sovereignty, it promulgated the implementation of the municipal police system again. In recent years, the “Decentralization Committee” announced plans to introduce a muncipal police system and to implement the municipal police system by 2020. This paper study the French, American and Japanese police which not is not only representative of the diversity of police systems, but also have historically influenced the formation of our police system. We will understand the objective status of our police through comparative legal review with the foreign police system and look for the future direction of municipal police in Korea.
