Kim Jong-cheol, the nominee for the new police chief, stated on November 6, "It is imperative to establish systems and field manuals to prevent citizens from becoming victims of crimes with unusual motives and relationships."
After attending a temporary meeting of the National Police Commission in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, where the nomination for police chief was reviewed, Kim responded to reporters' questions about his top priorities.
He also emphasized, "I am acutely aware of the various voices from the public calling for police reform and a better society," adding that he aims to enhance the integrity of police work in both investigations and general public safety administration to restore public trust.
As the acting police chief and deputy commissioner, Kim received the endorsement from the National Police Commission and is now set to undergo a confirmation hearing in the National Assembly, followed by the presidential appointment process.
Regarding the confirmation hearing, Kim said, "I will do my best with a sincere and responsible attitude, presenting myself as I am."
