Abstract

Recent aspects of terrorism varies in various ways according to means, targets, and regions. In particular, the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States in 2001 changed the paradigm of each country's terrorism, and the South Korea also participated in the enactment and enforcement of the Anti-Terrorism Act in 2016. Based on this, CBRN terrorism is included in general terrorism, and the National Police Agency plays the role of a control tower, and a system supported by related organizations such as the Ministry of Environment is being built and operated. However, restrictions were confirmed in the organizational system, manpower composition, and equipment and materials in operation in preparation for CBRN within the police. Based on the identified limitations, we proposed improvement plans to strengthen the capacity for CBRN terrorism: establishing a dedicated CBRN organization; creating research organization; and securing additional dedicated personnel. Based on this, as an improvement plan to strengthen the capability of CBRN, the establishment of an organization dedicated to CBRN and a research organization within the National Police Agency, and expansion of electronic equipment suitable for the characteristics of CBRN were proposed. It is expected that the police's on-site response capability system for CBRN terrorism will be strengthened via the proposed improvement measures to recover the various restrictions on the response to CBRN terrorism.

최근의 테러의 양상은 수단, 대상, 지역 등에 있어 다양한 특징이 있다. 특히 2001년 발생한 미국 911 테러로 인해 각국의 테러에 대한 패러다임이 바뀌었으며, 한국도 이에 동참하여 2016년부터 테러방지법을 제정·시행하고 있다. 이를 기반으로 화생방테러가 일반테러에 포함되어 경찰청에서 컨트롤타워 역할을 수행하며 환경부 등 관련 유관기관에서 지원하는 체계가 구축·운용 중이다. 하지만 경찰 내 화생방테러에 대비한 조직체계, 인력구성, 운용 중인 장비·물자 등에서 제한사항이 확인하였다. 이를 바탕으로 화생방테러 역량을 강화할 수 있는 개선방안으로 경찰청 내 화생방테러 전담조직 및 연구조직의 신설, 화생방테러 특성에 맞는 전자식 장비의 확충등을 제안하였다. 화생방테러 대응의 한계를 극복하기 위해 제시된 개선방향을 통해 경찰의 현장대응역량이 강화될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
