National Police Agency Raises Reward Standards for Arrests
The National Investigation Headquarters of the National Police Agency announced on the 22nd that it has revised the 'Regulations on Rewards for Contributions to Arrests' and established a special arrest reward system that provides up to 500 million won for organized crimes.
If you contribute to the arrest of the leaders of telecommunication financial fraud organizations, the reward, which was up to 100 million won, will increase to 500 million won. The reward for the arrest of drug organizations with seizures of more than 50 kg, which was up to 20 million won, can be up to 500 million won.
The reward will be determined considering the seriousness of the case, the extent of the damage, the size of the organization, and the level of contribution.
Crimes such as voice phishing, drugs, and leading room fraud make it difficult to secure investigation clues that can dismantle the entire organization. Due to the secretive nature of these crimes, decisive insider reports often reveal the organization's full details, identifying the identities of leaders and key figures.
Reports or tips can be made through the 112 hotline or the police complaint portal site.
Park Sung-joo, head of the National Investigation Headquarters, said, "There are limits to eradicating organized crimes that are becoming organized, non-face-to-face, and transnational with only police efforts," and "We will prioritize protecting the identity of informants and whistleblowers to prevent secondary damage."
