There are two kinds of police authorities in Korea. One is the Special Judicial Police, under the authority of the Ministry of Construction and Transportation, charged with maintenance of public order on trains, in stations and other places of business operated by the Korea Railway Corporation. The other is the Local Subway Police, belonging to the Local Police Agencies, whose jurisdiction covers trains, station and other areas managed and operated by local governments. The existence of two separate entities for common objective of railway security has given rise to problems including inefficiency in performance and lack of technical knowledge and synergic effects. This study looks at the need for resolving those problems by restructuring and expanding the Special Judicial Police to bring railway security under a single authority and an integrated railway security systems operation.
