As issues of police investigations being poorly conducted, such as the recent Jang Mi-ran case, have come to light, President Lee Jae-myung and the Democratic Party are actively pursuing police reform. This is because after the abolition of the prosecution, as the police have become established as the main investigative agency, securing public safety and trust have become important. The Democratic Party has launched a police reform promotion task force and is discussing various reform measures, including strengthening the authority of the National Police Commission and materializing autonomous police committees. However, there are concerns that if damages occur due to poor police investigations after the prosecution's investigative powers are eliminated, it could create backlash against the ruling party's prosecution reform efforts.
