Amid predictions that the arrest warrant will be executed today, there is a possibility that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will be supported by the police task force during the execution process. President Yoon's side is protesting, saying it is an illegal act without a legal basis. Let's connect with the on-site reporter and listen to the police. Reporter Lim Ye-jin.

[Reporter]
Yes, this is the National Investigation Headquarters of the National Police Agency.

[Anchor]
There are observations that the execution of arrest warrants is imminent, so how is the police atmosphere?

[Reporter]
The police special team has been discussing the timing and method of execution with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which is the subject of the execution of arrest warrants. He said he was fully aware of the various opinions regarding the support for the execution of the warrant and said he would not raise the issue of illegality after legal review and consultation with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

Yoon Gap-geun, a lawyer for President Yoon Suk Yeol, expressed his position today when he argued that it is illegal for the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to receive support from the police task force during the execution of the arrest warrant. Currently, a number of police task forces are deployed around the official residence.As the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit said earlier that it was not impossible to request a police mobilization for the execution of the warrant, it is observed that the execution is not far away. If the execution of an arrest warrant for President Yoon is attempted, it is expected that there will be a lot of resistance from supporters who are rallying near the official residence as well as the security service. As there is a possibility of physical conflict, the police are reportedly discussing plans to maintain order around the official residence with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit. In addition, as a large crowd gathers, traffic congestion around the area is expected, and additional police personnel may be deployed to control it.

How does it affect the police investigation if President Yoon is secured?

[Reporter]
As President Yoon is a key suspect in the December 3 emergency martial law incident, which is suspected of being the head of the rebellion, the investigation by the police special team is expected to speed up. Police are investigating 45 people, including 21 officials from the ruling party and 19 soldiers, in connection with the martial law incident. When martial law was declared, all participants in the Cabinet meeting, including Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, were booked, and Choo Kyung-ho, former floor leader of the People's Power, was accused of obstructing the vote to lift martial law.Except for Presidential Chief of Staff Chung Jin-seok, who did not respond to police attendance on the 30th of last month, most of them have completed more than one investigation. So, I assume that if a police task force is deployed under the cooperation of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, there could be a confrontation with the police who are in charge of security and security at the official residence.

[Anchor]
So, you said that it is a matter of where you conduct the command, and since it is a matter of this part, you can fully predict the confrontation between the police and the police. Isn't the bodyguard quite loyal? So there are observations that they will try to protect President Yoon until the end, so what do you think about the possibility that the security agency will block the execution of the arrest warrant to the end?

[Kim Hwan-mok]
I think the security service will do its best in the work related to the security of the president mentioned above and carry out it until the end. So, if you judge that there is no problem with your personal safety, such as the execution of a warrant or detention, the security office will change its position, but if the standard is judged to be completely safe for the security target to be protected, you can predict such a change.

[Anchor]
Isn't safety more important than anything else? Is there any possibility of some preliminary coordination between the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the Presidential Security Service during the execution of the warrant?

[Kim Hwan-mok]
I think pre-tuning is the most reasonable way to avoid collisions. I think it would be nice if the two institutions could make concessions and adjustments to each other within the legal framework.

[Anchor]
Our cameras are also being shown in front of the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, but there are reportedly quite a lot of citizens.I understand that there are many citizens who oppose the impeachment of
and support impeachment. Of course, such a physical conflict should not happen. What do you expect the presidential security to be most concerned about at this point?

[Kim Hwan-mok]
Presidential security work and activities do not tolerate even 1% of risk factors. In other words, it is an organization that seeks perfection, so in the process of fulfilling its duties, there should be no mishaps between those organizations that are currently expected to be in favor of or against, or in conflict, and this is probably the biggest concern for the security service, and from my senior point of view, I think that the most important thing is the conflict between citizens and those who execute warrants or those who have to be prevented, and this should not happen again.

[Anchor]
As the professor has worked for the presidential security service for more than 20 years, I think you will have a different mind to look at the situation. Let's hear the last answer to what you are most concerned about in the current situation and how you think it is desirable to proceed.

[Kim Hwan-mok]
The duty of the Presidential Security Service is to ensure the safety of the person covered by the security. Previously, the safety of the president was an organization that considered it not to be uncomfortable because of psychological security, and sought to be perfect. Now, regardless of accidental factors or violations, these are parts that can occur in the process of cleaning up the mess within the ongoing national turmoil, but I think the basic duties of the security agency cannot be abandoned, but it would be better to coordinate and coordinate with each other to the most legal and reasonable extent so that no conflict or mishaps occur. I think so.

[Anchor]
I see. We will look forward to coordinating well as the professor wishes.
So far, I've talked with Kim Hwan-mok, a professor of police administration at Shinan Mountain University.Thank you, Professor
