Background: This study examines quality of life (QOL) of a sample of police officers in India. The concept of QOL includes well-being, social obligations, relationships of a person, and his association with environment. The study examines the factors on which QOL of police officers depend and their relationships with each other. The issues linked with QOL are important because they directly affect the individual's ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle and affect organizational performance in the long run. This study explores relevant factors that have an impact on the QOL of the employees of police department in India. Method: In this paper, literatures review, ISM, MICMAC, and DEMATEL methodology have established eleven factors that impact the QOL of police officers in India. Mutual relations between factors have been established using the ISM approach to develop a model to represent these relationships. DEMATEL methodologies were used to analyze these factors. Results: Results indicate that "fair compensation, work overload, workplace safety, and job stress" are the top-level factors that affect QOL of police officers. Conclusion: The identification of factors and their mutual relationships that affect QOL are important for police officers and have to be dealt with according to their order of importance. The research model developed in this study shows how the factors of police officers' QOL are interrelated and presents the interrelationships among these factors. A comprehensive model depicting the relationships among these factors has been established, so that the QOL of police officers can be improved.

The need of development of police officers' uniforms for the summer season has increased due to rises in temperature. This research developed a t-shirt typed of police officer's uniform for summer weather. We analyzed the design cases of national and international police officers' uniforms, similar types of uniforms, and t-shirts for summer weather. The satisfaction with current uniforms and preferences for these types of uniforms were surveyed with 1,062 police officers and public participants. Designs were developed and design opinions were surveyed with 1,011 public volunteers. A total of 584 police officers wore developed prototypes for two weeks, and surveys were conducted with 328 police officers to reflect the final design results. More than 80% of police officers have very satisfied or satisfied opinions of the developed designs. The study is expected to enhance police officers' satisfaction with the developed uniforms for summer weather.

우리나라를 방문한 외국인 관광객의 안전 및 치안을 위해 2013년 10월 16일 서울 관광경찰대가 출범하였다. 관광경찰의 주요역할은 관광지내 범죄예방 순찰 및 기초질서 유지, 외국인 관광객 대상 불법행위 단속 및 수사와 문화체육관광부 지방자치단체 등 관련 기관과 협조하여 음식점 숙박업소 택시 등 관광관련 영업의 부당요금 단속, 관광 관련 업계 및 종사자에 대한 행정지도 및 단속 등으로 규정되어 있다. 그런데 관광경찰의 역할을 살펴보면, 일반 경찰과 역할이 중첩되고, 문화체육관광부 지방자치단체 등 타 기관과의 업무협력을 요하는 부분이 많아 일반 경찰과 관광경찰 사이에는 역할모호성 및 역할갈등이 일어날 소지가 크다. 따라서 본 연구는 관광경찰의 역할에 대한 일반경찰과 관광경찰의 역할 모호성 역할갈등이 업무만족 및 업무수행도에 대한 인식차이와 영향관계를 실증적으로 규명함으로써 관광경찰제도의 발전에 기여고자 한다.

Background: The objective of this study was to determine the practice of skin cancer prevention among Malaysian road traffic police officers. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 202 Malaysian Road Police Traffic officers. Inclusion criteria were those officers who work wearing white uniform regulating traffic. The survey took place at the Police Traffic Station, Jln Tun H.S. Lee, Kuala Lumpur, the main Head Quarters of Malaysian's Traffic Department where almost 600 police traffic officers are employed. The police traffic officers are given the task to take care of the traffic from the main office of the police station, then, according to the task, the officers drive to their given location for their duty. Each task is approved by the Chief Traffic Inspector of Kuala Lumpur. Data collected in this study were analyzed using SPSS 13, with the T-test for univariate analysis and multiple linear regression for multivariate analysis. Results: A total of 202 road traffic police officers participated. The majority were older than 30 years of age, male, Malay, married, with secondary education, with monthly income more than 2000 Ringgit Malaysia (66.3%, 91.1%, 86.6%, 84.7%, 96%, 66.3%; respectively). Regarding the practice of skin cancer prevention, 84.6% of the study participants were found to wear hats, 68.9% sunglasses and 85.6% clothing that covering most of the body but only 16.9% used a sunscreen when they were outdoors. When analysis of the factors that influenced the practice of skin cancer prevention was performed, univariate analysis revealed that gender, age and monthly income significantly influenced the practice of skin cancer prevention. For multivariate analysis, gender, monthly income and race significantly influenced the practice of using sunscreen among road traffic police officers (p<0.001, p=0.019, p=0.027; respectively). Conclusions: The practice of skin cancer prevention among the traffic police officers showed good practices in terms of wearinga hat, sun glasses and clothing that covers most of the body. However, the study revealed a poor practice of the use of sunscreen. The factors that influence the practice of sunscreen use were found to be gender, income, and race. The study suggests that more awareness campaign among traffic police officers is needed. Providing sunscreen for free for police traffic officers should be considered by the Police authorities.

The purpose of this study is to understand police officers' perceptions and influential factors on their recognition of domestic violence. The participants of the present study were 226 police officers around Iksan province, and the data were collected by the self-administered questionnaire method. The major results of this research were as follows. First, 55.3% of the respondents had received training on domestic violence. Second, 64.6% of police officers had experienced cases of domestic violence, and 65.4% of them had chosen passive action in domestic violence situations. Third, there was a significant positive correlation between gender equality consciousness and knowledge of the domestic violence prevention act, and the police officer's recognition of domestic violence. Fourth, there was a significant negative correlation between possible violence and the intervening attitudes of the police officers, and the police officers' recognition of domestic violence. Finally, multiple regression analysis was performed to find out the general characteristics of the participants and associated variables. It was found that the domestic violence experience of police officers was the most powerful predictor of their recognition of domestic violence. Gender equality consciousness, knowledge of the domestic violence prevention act, and the intervening attitudes of police officers were the next powerful predictors of police officers' recognition of domestic violence.

이 연구에서는 경찰공무원의 연가 사용 실태를 실증적으로 살펴보았다. 한국경찰은 많은 초과노동에 시달리고 있는 반면, 장시간의 노동으로부터 건강을 보호 회복하고 노동력 재생산 유지와 문화생활 확보 등을 위한 휴가 사용에는 소극적인 편이다. 조사 결과, 대다수의 경찰공무원은 주어진 법정 연가 일수를 절반도 사용하고 있지 않았다. 남자보다는 여자경찰관이, 미혼보다는 기혼경찰관의 연가 사용 일수가 상대적으로 많았으며, 근무환경적 특성별로는 교대 근무자가 비교대 근무를 하는 경찰공무원에 비해 연가 사용 일수가 적은 것으로 나타났다. 소극적인 연가 사용의 원인은 경찰의 업무 과중, 일 중심의 삶, 가정보다는 직장을 우선하는 조직문화 등 다양한 이유들이 결부된 결과일 것이다. 따라서 현실적인 연가 사용이 이루어지기 위해서는 경찰공무원의 업무 과중을 해결해 줄 수 있는 인력충원과 그로 인한 적정한 업무배분이 선행되어져야 할 것이다. 또한 직장과 가정에서의 균형을 중시하는 관리자의 인식과 조직문화의 확산이 시급해 보인다.

This study surveyed 171 police officers working in Jeollabuk-do to investigate their first aid knowledge and the need for education. The results showed that the correct answer rate for first aid knowledge among police officers was 75.61 points out of a possible 100 points. Additionally, 98.8% of respondents indicated a need for first aid training, expressing a preference for 2-hour sessions integrated with their work education. There was a statistically significant difference in the correct answer rate for first aid knowledge based on education level and experience in emergency situations, but no significant difference in the need for education was observed across respondents. The significance of this research lies in its provision of foundational data for first aid education among police officers, which can be instrumental in developing training programs and policies aimed at enhancing their first aid capabilities. Specifically, the study contributes to improving the effectiveness of police officers' responses in emergency situations by offering concrete suggestions on the content, method, and duration of first aid training. These findings underscore the necessity and importance of providing comprehensive and effective first aid training not only to police officers but to all first responders, emphasizing that such training is crucial for ensuring public safety.
