 신임 경찰청장에 강신명 서울지방경찰청장이 내정됐다.

안전행정부는 경찰위원회 소집을 요청하고 신임 경찰청장 내정자로 강신명 서울지방경찰청장을 추천했다.

이에 경찰위원회는 오늘 아침 9시부터 강신명 내정자에 대한 질의와 답변 등 면접 절차를 거쳐 과반 찬성으로 내정자 신분을 확정한다.

신임 경찰청장 내정자는 국회 인사청문회 등 절차를 거쳐 대통령이 최종 임명한다.

강신명 경찰청장 내정자는 올해 51살로, 대구 청구고를 졸업, 경찰대학 2기로 경북지방경찰청장과 청와대 사회안전비서관을 지냈다. (khnews@heraldcorp.com)

Seoul police chief tapped for top police post: sources

 
Seoul's police chief has been nominated to take over the nation's top police post, sources said Wednesday, according to Yonhap News.

Kang Sin-myeong, who currently heads the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, has been nominated to succeed Lee Sung-han as the National Police Agency (NPA) commissioner, they said. 

It is likely that the seven-member National Police Commission will recommend Kang as the single candidate for the post to President Park Geun-hye through the Home Affairs Ministry after holding a hearing later in the day, the police sources said, Yonhap reported.

The president will then officially appoint the new police chief. Kang's nomination is technically subject to a parliamentary confirmation hearing, though the National Assembly cannot reject the nomination.

The former NPA chief offered to step down on Tuesday for a delay in identifying the body of the fugitive shipping tycoon partly blamed for April's ferry disaster that left more than 300 people dead or missing. (From news report)
