Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the actual disaster response and suggest improvement measures for introduction of an autonomous police system Method: This study suggests the improvement measures by reviewing police disaster response manual, related statistical data, and statutes comprehensively Result: The introduction of autonomous police system enabled effective management of police based on circumstances of each region. However, there are still doubts on police response against situations that require large number of personnel. According to analysis on roles of autonomous police during the mass disasters, the autonomous police controlled disaster site to prevent secondary damage, prevented additional disaster damages, and rescued people. However, it is hard for the autonomous police to respond against the mass disasters due to its structure. Conclusion: To improve the response of autonomous police against mass disasters, this study suggested on disaster scene control and secondary damage prevention by the police, cooperative disaster response with regional autonomous police, and utilization of control tower.

연구목적: 이 연구는 자치경찰제도 도입에 따른 재난대응 실태를 살펴보고 개선방안을 제시하기 위한 목적의 연구이다. 연구방법: 연구의 완성을 위하여 경찰의 재난대응 매뉴얼과 관련 통계자료, 법령 등을 종합적으로 검토하여 개선하는 방안을 제시하였다. 연구결과: 자치경찰제도가 도입됨에 따라 각 지역의 실정에 맞도록 경찰을 운용하게 되었는데, 대형 재난 발생 시 대규모 인력이 동원 상황 발생 시 대응에 대하여 여전히 의문을 가지고 있다. 대형 대난 발생 시 자치경찰의 역할이 대하여 살펴본 결과, 현재 경찰이 대형재난 발생 시 대형재난 현장에서 2차 피해 예방을 위한 현장 통제 및 추가적인 재난 피해 예방, 요구호자 구조 등의 업무를 수행한다. 그러나, 자치경찰의 경우 대규모 재난에 대응하기가 쉽지 않은 구조 탓에 대형재난에 취약할 수 밖에 없다. 결론: 이 연구에서는 대형 재난 발생 시 기본적인 경찰의 재난현장 통제 및 2차 피해 예방활동과 함께 인근 지역 자치경찰과 협동 재난 대응 활동 및 컨트롤 타워 등 제안과 같은 방안을 제안하였다.
