탐정 관련 학술 전문연구기관인 한국민간조사학술연구소(kpisl, 소장 김종식)는 ‘탐정의 유용성 등 그 역할과 역량’을 대중에게 보다 간결하게 알리는 실증적 자료로 활용코자 국내 탐정들이 단독(주도적) 또는 언론·공공기관 등과 연대하여 펼친 공익 활동(公益活動, 공익탐정 활동) 사례를 12월 10일까지 공개 모집한다.
이번 공익탐정 활동 사례 모집에는 국내에서 탐정 활동을 하고 있는 사람이면 누구나 응모할 수 있으며, 채택된 활동 사례는 ‘보도 매체를 통해 2회 이상 소개(홍보)’되며 한국민간조사학술연구소가 향후 출간(또는 개정)하는 각종 탐정 관련 학술서에 ‘공익탐정 성공 사례’로 수록된다. 또한 우수 공익 활동 사례를 지닌 탐정은 희망에 따라 내년 1월 발족하게 될 국내 최초 ‘반부패 공익탐정팀’ 또는 ‘반부패 정보분석팀’ 구성원으로 최우선 위촉 대상이 된다.

한편 한국민간조사학술연구소는 ‘공정과 상식을 짓밟는 부정·부패 근절에 벽돌 한 장이라도 나르는 심정’으로 정치권 및 경제·사회분야 인사들과 관련된 비리·부패 징후(정보·단서·증거) 포착 활동에 임할 ‘반부패 공익탐정팀(에이스탐정 5명)’과 이에 의해 포착된 비리 정보 등을 분석할 '반부패 정보분석팀(변호사, 교수, 언론인 등 5명)'을 내년 1월 동시에 출범키로 했다(2024년 11월 12일 시민일보 “한국민간조사학술연구소, 국내 최초 ’반부패 공익탐정팀‘ 내년 1월 발족” 참조).
‘반부패 공익탐정팀’의 역할은 정치권 및 경제·사회분야 인사들과 관련된 비리·부패 징후(정보·단서·증거) 포착 활동에 국한되며, ‘반부패 공익탐정팀’이 포착한 특정인 또는 특정 단체의 비리나 부패 내용은 ‘반부패 정보분석팀’의 분석과 판단에 따라 부패공익신고, 언론에 제보, 경찰·검찰 등에 수사 자료로 제공 또는 고발하게 된다.
이와 관련 ‘반부패 공익탐정팀’과 ‘반부패 정보분석팀’의 인선(여러 탐정협회 등에 인재 추천 의뢰) 및 활동 방향 연찬회 등 출범에 필요한 제반 준비는 올 12월 말까지 모두 마칠 예정이다. kjs00112@hanmail.net
