3. Governor Won expresses disdain for revision of police law
‘Municipal police will be absorbed into the national police’

Governor Won Hee-ryong has expressed regret over the revision of the police law, which unifies the local and national police organizations.

Governor Won said at the general meeting of the provincial governor's council held on the 6th that the passing of the Autonomous Police Act amendment would result in the municipal police being absorbed into the national police. The governor expressed that this would result in a step backward for maintaining order and safety for local residents.

Accordingly, Governor Won insisted that the city and provincial governors' council present their opinions and persuade lawmakers to reflect on the purpose of the autonomous police system, and asked for active cooperation from other cities and provinces.
