The National Police Agency is divided into 6 bureaus, 5 offices and 1 Assistant Director General and the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency

divisions and Kyeonggi Provincial Police Agency is made up of 3 divisions, 2 offices and 9 divisions. Other provincial police agencies
consist of 3 offices and 6 divisions. Every police station is divided into 1 to 3 levels with 4 to 9 divisions.
Meanwhile, the National Institute of Scientific Investigation Service with three Provincial centers that is under the name of the Ministry of
Government Administration and Home Affairs is operated under the supervision of Commissioner General, and plays a core role of scientific
Inspection Service.
Also, to secure the political neutrality and the democracy of the police, [Police Commission] under the Ministry of Government
Administration and Home Affairs serves as the highest order consultation/legislative organ of the police administration.
In spite of the similarity of structure between the police organization and the Provincial governments, the police station exists for the
security of people rather than administrative demand. As the security demands are increasing, more stations and stands are established to
meet the needs of people.
