“It’s not good to visit with snacks”… Indefinitely postponed the inauguration ceremony of the Chungnam Chi Police

“I am very sorry for the postponement of the inauguration ceremony of the Chungnam Autonomous Police Committee. We will do our best to establish a self-governing police committee that the citizens of the city can trust with confidence through more thorough inspection and preparation.”

This is the remarks of Governor Seung-jo Yang at the meeting of Director Silguk, Chungnam Province at 9 am on the 5th. Chungnam Province has indefinitely postponed the inauguration ceremony of the Chungnam Chi Police Committee, which was originally scheduled to be held at 11 am on this day. This is due to a recent incident involving Mr. A (72), Chairman of the Autonomous Police Committee.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by Minister of Public Administration and Security Jeon Jeon-cheol, Chairman of the Autonomous Decentralization Committee, Kim Seong-ryong, and Chief of the Police Agency. However, due to an internal problem in Chungnam Province that occurred just before the inauguration ceremony, it has become impossible to know when the nation’s first self-governing police committee inauguration ceremony will be held. The autonomous police system will be fully implemented in July.

Mr. A visited the Cheongsu Police Box at the Cheonan-dongnam Police Station, Chungnam, around 9 pm on the 2nd. Mr. A, who inquired about the results of the case he reported in February, asked the policeman on duty, “What do you think about the self-governing police system?” In the process, Mr. A, who raised his voice, is known to threw a paper cup of water at the police officer.

At first, Mr. A, who did not disclose his identity, revealed that he was the chairman of the Chungnamchi Police Commission as the arguments increased. Chungnam Governor Yang Seung-jo appointed Mr. A as the first Chungnamchi Police Commissioner on the 31st of last month. According to Chungnam Province, Mr. A was hired by both governors.

At the time, police officers at the police box judged that Mr. A may have obstructed the execution of public affairs, and reported the case to the competent police station. This information was also delivered to the Chungnam Police Agency, a senior institution. The police plan to summon Mr. A after analyzing the closed circuit TV (CCTV) video inside the police box and investigating the facts of the police officers at the scene.

On the other hand, Mr. A said, “It is correct that I went to the police box to hear the voices of the scene about the self-governing police system and raised my voice because I was angry at the police officer’s unkind attitude. Insisted.

On the 31st of last month, Chungnam-do said, “It was the first time in the country to raise an anchor and start a pilot operation. On April 5th, the inauguration ceremony will be held in the provincial office’s conference room and annex,” he said. “After the self-government police system law came into force on January 1st, we formed the’autonomous police preparation team’ and went through a close consultation with the Chungnam Police Agency.

However, ahead of the official launch, the police investigation became inevitable due to the unfavorable affairs of the head of the autonomous police committee, putting both governors and Chungnam Province in a difficult situation. It is known that the issue of Mr. A’s move is also being discussed. Governor Seungjo Yang also said, “I will think about a good solution.”

The backlash from the police is also considerable. This is because there are many problems with Mr. A’s attitude. If you want to hear opinions on the scene regarding the self-governing police, it is appropriate to make an appointment in advance, and because the district police station and police box are dispatched 24 hours a day and dealt with the case, it is said that the so-called’high people’ unexpected visit interferes with the work. It’s their story.

A high-ranking police official who wanted to remain anonymous said, “Even if a high-ranking police officer suddenly comes to visit us with snacks at night, we do not have enough time to meet them.
