Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to derive ESG core indicators applicable to police organizations based on public sector ESG guidelines and to propose a sustainable public safety policy model structured through an Input–Process–Output (IPO) framework. Method: The study employs literature review, analysis of public ESG guidelines, and case analysis of police ESG practices to derive ESG indicators and develop the policy model. Result: The findings indicate that ESG indicators for police organizations are primarily centered on Social (S) and Governance (G) domains, and an IPO-based model was developed to generate public safety and public trust outcomes. Conclusion: The ESG-based policy model serves as an integrated framework that structures decision-making and operations in police organizations, enabling the simultaneous achievement of public safety and accountability, and providing a foundation for sustainable development.

연구목적: 본 연구는 기획재정부의 ｢공공기관 ESG 가이드라인｣을 기반으로, 경찰 조직의 기능적 특성과 공공 치안 기관으로서의 역할에 부합하는 핵심 ESG(환경·사회·지배구조) 지표를 도출하고, 이를 바탕으로 지속가능한 치안 정책 모델을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구방법: 본 연구는 문헌조사와 공공기관 ESG 가이드라인에 대한 정책분석을 중심으로 수행되었으며, 이를 보완하기 위해 공공기관의 ESG 관련 운영사례를 검토하였다. 이러한 분석을 바탕으로 경찰조직의 기능적 특성과 연계 가능한 ESG 지표를 도출하고, 중대성 평가와 거버넌스 메커니즘을 반영하여 IPO 기반 정책모형을 체계적으로 설계하였다. 연구결과: 경찰조직에 적합한 ESG 지표는 환경(E) 영역보다 사회(S) 및 거버넌스(G) 영역 중심으로 구성되는 것이 타당한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 정보보호, 개인정보 보호, 법·규제 준수, 협력사 관리, 인권 보호 등 사회적 책임 지표와 이사회 중심 의사결정, 내부통제, 윤리경영 체계 등 거버넌스 지표가 핵심 요소로 도출되었다. 또한 이러한 지표를 IPO 구조에 적용한 결과, 거버넌스 기반의 의사결정과 운영과정을 통해 공공안전과 국민 신뢰라는 성과를 도출하는 정책모형이 제시되었다. 결론: 본 연구의 ESG 기반 치안 정책 모형은 공공 안전 확보와 사회적 책무를 동시에 달성하는 통합적 프레임워크로서, 미래 경찰 조직의 혁신과 지속가능한 발전을 위한 정책적 기초자료를 마련하는데 그 의미가 있다.
