  • Public Official Protection and Training Board held a meeting on October 16, 1999 discussing the suitability of Article 13 “Promotion by Special Merit” of the Police Officer Administration Statute. On December 1, 2000 the “Guidance for the Promotion of Police Officer” was amended, wherein the recommendation system was eliminated to ensure the fairness of promotion and new provisions were added thereto. The former allows the persons in the present positions or the same promotional series to be given 3 points every time when they are recommended as the excellent ones, and the latter permits such ranked persons to be exempted from the screening procedures by the Personnel Screening and Reviewing Board. From May 2001, the provisions involving the selections for “Police general program”, “Police commander program” and “Police captain program” are to be amended whereby changing the “Screening Test by Recommendation” to the “Posting Examination” and deleting the qualifications required for the recommended objects. However, according to interviews with the personnel staff of Police Administration, the provisions in respect to recommendation system were deleted, but it sill prevails in all organizations and has even turned to be one of the tools of political struggle.
