The police are operating the "Revised Criminal Procedure Act Follow-up Task Force" starting today (August 5) to implement follow-up measures following the amendment of the Criminal Procedure Act.

The National Police Agency announced that starting today, it will establish and operate the task force—headed by the Acting National Police Agency Commissioner—until October 2, the enforcement date of the revised Criminal Procedure Act.

The task force includes the acting planning and coordination officer, the investigation planning and coordination officer, the personnel and training planning officer, the audit officer, and the spokesperson.

The task force plans to review and discuss once a week measures to strengthen the fairness of police investigations, including strengthening disciplinary action and punishment for police corruption, reinforcing police investigative personnel and budgets, and reorganizing follow-up laws and regulations.

In addition, plans to implement recommendations from the upcoming Police Investigation Reform Committee are scheduled to be discussed together.

The National Police Agency stated, "We will swiftly and meticulously carry out follow-up measures centered around the task force so that the newly revised Criminal Procedure Act can settle securely in the field and lead to further enhanced protection of public human rights and interests."
