What Are the Public's Ideas on 'Scientific Policing'?…Police and Ministry of Science and ICT Joint Contest Held

Applications Accepted from July 6 to September 15

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] The National Police Agency and the Ministry of Science and ICT announced on the 5th that they will hold the "6th Science Policing Idea Contest" for the public to discover science policing tasks that enhance public experience.

Applications will be accepted from the 6th of this month until September 15th. Entries are divided into two categories: ▲Solution Proposals ▲Problem Proposals. The solution proposal contest targets ideas for implementing science policing that utilize science and information and communication technology (ICT) to strengthen on-site policing capabilities, solve policing issues, and enhance public safety and convenience across all police activities including crime prevention, cyber safety (including digital sex crimes), traffic safety, policing equipment, forensic investigation, and counterterrorism.

The problem proposal contest targets urgent policing issues in the field that require immediate resolution to ensure public safety and alleviate inconvenience, even if it is difficult to directly suggest scientific solutions at this time.

The contest is divided into two categories: the public and police officers. Awards will be given only in the solution proposal category after evaluation, including certificates and prize money. The proposed ideas will be utilized in future policing science and technology research and development (R&D) projects and in the establishment of policing policies.

A police official stated, "We expect this contest to contribute to creating a virtuous cycle ecosystem where the public's interest and ideas in the field of policing lead to solving policing problems."
