These Regulations are enacted in accordance with paragraph 4, Article 11 of the Act Governing the Use of Police Weapons (hereinafter referred to as the "Act").

1. The counterparts of the police officers who have used police weapons in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
2. Police officers who perform police duties.

In respect of the compensation prescribed in paragraph 3, Article 11 of the Act, the agency, with which the police officer who has used police weapons is affiliated, is the “compensation agency”.
When there are multiple agencies responsible for the same compensation, all of them shall be liable for the compensation.

When police officers have used police weapons in accordance with the provisions of the Act and caused a third party to lose his/her life, or to sustain bodily injuries or property damage, the third party may seek compensation. If the third party dies, his/her legal heir(s) may claim compensation.

When an heir claims compensation, he/she shall clarify the relationship between himself/herself and the deceased, and whether there are other heirs in the same order.
When there are multiple heirs and one of them claims compensation, the effect of such claim is extended to all heirs. The withdrawal of the claim, however, shall be agreed upon by all heirs.

Compensation shall be made in a monetary form and limited to medical expenses, loss due to leave of absence from work, funeral expenses or solatia paid for actual loss of life, bodily or property damage
Compensation in the preceding paragraph is limited to the maximum amounts set in the following subparagraphs, and may be reduced or exempted based on a review of the loss suffered by a third party and the extent attributable to the third party:
