The Seoul Police Agency has begun shifting the work system of the front-line district to meet the growing demand for nighttime security. The intention is to effectively respond to violent incidents and accidents at night by replacing the current working shift method of 4 groups and 2 shifts with 5 groups and 3 shifts, which are concentrated in late-night vulnerable hours. At the direction of the Seoul Police Agency Commissioner Jang Ha-yeon, the group plans to gradually expand the 5 group 3 shift work, which is currently being piloted in four districts, after collecting opinions from on-site police officers.

According to the police on the 9th, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency is pushing ahead with a plan to convert the current method of working in the district zone, which rotates in two shifts in groups of 4, to the intensive working system of vulnerable hours (3 shifts in groups of 5). Of the 98 districts in Seoul, 30 districts that are in conditions are the first to be converted. To this end, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency is sequentially calling the district leader, the team leader, and the head of the 112 department of the front line police station to collect opinions.

The reason that the police are pushing for the shift to work shifts in front-line districts is the judgment that the existing four-team two-shift system cannot effectively respond to the increasing demand for night security. It is true that in the case of the four-team two shifts, it is inevitable to generate idle personnel during the day shift, which has relatively low demand for security, while the night shift suffered from inundation of reports and dispatches. Accordingly, other teams volunteered to work at night every day to respond to nighttime reports. A police official said, “It is a reality that it will be difficult to handle nighttime reports unless additional personnel are provided.” According to the Seoul Police Agency, 58.1% of the 1.72,296 cases dispatched last year were counted as night time.

On the other hand, the 5-team 3-shift, which the police are promoting, has an advantage in that it can effectively respond to the demand for late-night security by increasing the nighttime manpower instead of reducing the daytime manpower. It is a method of working together at night and late at night during vulnerable times of night by adding a’late night’ to the four-group two-shift system, which is set as’day-night-off-time-off’. The working hours of the late-night morning were made to be autonomously determined by district zones as the vulnerable hours are different for each region. Since August 2014, the 5th and 3rd shift has been operated only in two places: the Hwagok district in Gangseo and the Hwayang district in Gwangjin, where there is a lot of demand for nighttime security. As a result of the employee satisfaction survey conducted under the direction of Chief Commissioner Jang, it was confirmed that only 1.5% of the negative opinions on the 5th and 3rd shifts were found, the mapo Hongik District and Songpa Jamsil District are also conducting pilot operations from February this year.

On-site police officers generally welcome the introduction of the 5th group and 3rd shift. “As a result of the staff interview, more than 95% of the team members are satisfied with the 5th group and 3rd shift,” said District A. “It was virtually impossible to cope at night with only one team. It will be” he said. An officer of the Hwagok district also said, “In the 4th group, 2nd shift, I had to go to volunteer work the day after the night shift, so I could only take a day off, so I felt very tired.”

However, securing working space and recruiting manpower are the homework to be solved for the full expansion of the 5th and 3rd shifts. An officer who worked at Hwayang District pointed out that “As the number of workers increases, the rest area needs to be expanded.” An official from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said, “First of all, we will collect the opinions of the front-line districts and implement them from places where conditions are available.”
