Currently, the security operations in nation's key foundations in Korea are performed by private police and special security guard in accordance with the Private Police Act and Security Business Act, respectively. In 1960s, The Korean Government introduced the private police system in terms of the national security issues, but it was just a hurriedly-set plan on the basis of Japanese Sunsa system as by that time there was no such system revitalized. However, the special security guards could offer wider range of security services including those of the private police with the enactment and revision of the Security Business Act 1976 and April 2001, respectively. Moreover, the expectations and interests rose over the special security guards in nation's key foundations after 9.11Terror Event in the U. S. 2001. However, as we investigated the current education/training system for the special security guard, we found that such education/training which is not activating the specialty of special security guard will not respond to the social demands. Special security guard owns its own characteristics other than those of general security guard as they are in service in nation's key foundations. Thus, the effcient management and training for the special security guard is the most important matter for the safety and security of nation's key foundations. Therefore, the well-educated special security guard through the reorganized and specialized education/training for the protection of nation's key foundations is expected to offer qualitatively improved security services.

Our society witnesses the rapid progress in the areas of politics, economy, society and culture in the process of national modernization since 1960s, which in turn as a reverse function gets to contract a societic pathology, totally lowering the security level of citizens' lives owing to various violent crimes like hostage commotions and murders with rifles and deadly weapons. what is the main reason for that? That may be partly because the chief police force concentrates on the current situation resulting in the vacuum of the public peace. However, the main reason is that the police fall short of man-power and equipments even if the whole police power were put to use in preventing and quelling the crimes. That is true not only of Korea but also of the advanced countries like the U.S.A., England and Japan. We realize that these advanced countries have higher level of security in every individual's life and property than Korea because their progress of the private guard systems can fill in a vacuum of the shortage of the police power, Therefore, we should without delay internationalize our private guard systems expecting the widely opening of the guard service markets in the age of Uruguay Round. To do this, we need to change our ideas for fostering the policy of the private guard from passive defense ideas into positive aggressive ones. Our police should urgently set up a plan to pursue the orientation of vision that we should dispatch our private guards overseas before foreign guards rush into our markets. Accordingly it goes without saying that the private guard group should distinguish their services from the public services initiating their own theory and strategy of private guard services and also readjust themselves between the public duties and the private services with the study of minimizing the reverse function of the private guard systems. The history criminal justice has always shown that the criminal system progressed at the initiative of the civil factor in case its demand and supply do not make both ends meet. Nevertheless, in the process the power of the government never weakens, rather it is built up in general. In conclusion, the necessity of the build-up of the private guard services must duly be acknowledged by the police as well as by the business which has its unique sphere within the criminal justice instead of as the suplemtary services of the simple the police power on the long-term basis. The purpose of the private guard services can be largely classified into the two categories; first it means the function to prevent the crimes against the citizens and secondly to enhance the national interest as an increasing mammoth business with a worldly competition capacity. The police has an absolute responsibility that they should protect the modem public in general from feeling the crisis of the personal threat, tension, anxiety and nervousness. In short, if we develop the complete private guard system to guarantee the societic atmosphere for all citizens, keep the public peace, and protect all citizens' lives and properties, we will sure enjoy a beautiful land, a wholesome society and a happy life in goodharmony of law and order.
