Republic of Korea Auxiliary Police (Hangul: 대한민국 의무경찰) is an organization belonging to the National Police Agency in South Korea. It is a kind of switched service that attracts and uses active resources to fulfill the military service in Korea. The Auxiliary Police supply personnel on a voluntary basis.

The National Police Agency's auxiliary police force will be trained at the education level of each local government office after completing basic military at the Army Training Center, and will be assigned to the task force, security patrol team, and others. The service period is 21 months like that of the Army.[1] Large numbers of people are also deployed to prevent crime in areas where crimes are chronic. It is used to apply for large scale career requirements among police duties.[2]
