On the 10th, police summoned commanders to be deployed for the execution of President Yoon Suk-yeol's second arrest warrant to discuss detailed operational plans.
The police special investigation team called around 20 commanders, including the heads of the violent crimes investigation team and the narcotics investigation team of the four metropolitan police agencies in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province, to the National Investigation Headquarters that afternoon. The meeting included many veteran officials with extensive on-site arrest experience.
It is reported that the basic principles of the arrest operation were discussed in this meeting. A police official noted, "We are preparing to avoid any physical conflicts during the execution process," while also stating, "If that is not possible, we will inevitably proceed with the execution."
It is also known that measures such as deploying specialized equipment like tow trucks to remove barricades for securing access to the residence were discussed. Additionally, personnel necessary for executing the arrest warrant were considered. Previously, the police issued a mobilization order for investigators from the metropolitan investigation unit and the security investigation unit. A police official stated, "When adding personnel who participated in the first arrest operation, the actual number of deployed personnel is expected to exceed 1,000 investigators."
However, it is reported that the police did not address the specific plans for the execution of the second arrest warrant on that day. Accordingly, there is speculation about the possibility of a further meeting of commanders as early as next week.
