385 positions of senior superintendent Replacing 118 national police chiefs Full application of the shelter system to major positions [Yonhap News] Of the 242 police chiefs nationwide, 118 (49%) were replaced. Major positions in the audit and investigation of the provincial police agency and the position of the police chief were fully applied to the "hometown shelter system" that restricts the work in the region of origin. The National Police Agency said on the 13th that it has conducted personnel transfers to the police in the second half of this year for a total of 385 positions. In this personnel reshuffle, a fragrance system was applied to key positions to improve fairness in police work and restore public trust. The targets are the hearing inspection human rights officer of the Metropolitan Police Agency, the main manager of the investigation field, and the police chief. The range of restrictions on working in the region of origin was set differently depending on the position. The hearing inspection human rights officer and major positions in the investigation field were applied on a city-level basis, and the police chief was applied on a city-level basis or a city-level personnel area.
