The Serious Crime Investigation Agency (SCIA), launched alongside the abolition of the Prosecution Service, has failed to fill approximately one-third of its authorized positions, prompting the government to pursue the recruitment of police officers and private sector experts.
Despite establishing special provisions to accept existing prosecution officials without examinations, the provisional count of vacancies at the time of launch was 974.
While the government has announced a policy to recruit experienced police officers, it has been revealed that as of the 8th, no formal personnel requests had been submitted to the National Police Agency.

It has been revealed that even the current administration does not prefer those from police backgrounds.
Although priority was given to hiring former prosecutors, 974 out of the 2,874 required investigative personnel are missing.
This means the recruitment rate is only in the high 60% range.
The Ministry of the Interior and Safety stated they would fill the vacancies with police officers, accountants, lawyers, cyber technology experts, and financial analysis experts, but it appears the SCIA has not yet sent any personnel requests to the police.
