Cutting-Edge Security Technology and Equipment Gathered in One Place... 'International Security Industry Expo' Opens

The largest domestic security festival where advanced security technologies, equipment, and sophisticated security systems can be experienced in one place, the "3rd International Security Industry Expo," opened on the 20th. Jointly hosted by the National Police Agency and Incheon City, the expo is held for three days until the 22nd at Songdo Convensia in Incheon, featuring 150 domestic and international security-related companies with 420 booths.

Organized to establish a foundation for the domestic security industry and to globally promote advanced security systems through the Korean Wave of security, this expo is expected to be a festival where visitors can experience the National Police of Korea's cutting-edge systems and equipment all in one place. The exhibition halls are composed of seven sections: △ Police Mobile Equipment & Drone Hall △ Police Personal Equipment Hall △ Police Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Hall △ Crime Prevention Equipment & Systems Hall △ Crime Investigation & Forensic Equipment Hall △ Traffic Equipment & Systems Hall △ Special Hall. The Special Hall will showcase advanced technologies protecting socially vulnerable groups, such as precise location measurement technology for missing persons and identification technology for missing persons.

During the expo, various events will be held, including the International CSI Conference with participation from global forensic experts and export consultation meetings attended by overseas buyers. In particular, export consultation meetings will be held by inviting police delegations at the director-general level from various countries, and online export consultations targeting private buyers will be conducted simultaneously to support tangible business outcomes.

This expo is gaining more attention as it is held offline for the first time in two years. Last year, it was held entirely online due to the spread of COVID-19, which left some regrets, but more than 78,000 people accessed it, confirming strong interest in the security industry. Through this expo, the police plan to promote the excellence of the domestic security industry and create opportunities to open export channels. A National Police Agency official said, "Last year’s online-only event had some limitations in the practical promotion of the security industry, but this year, by holding both online and offline events, we will widely promote the excellence of the ‘K-Security Industry.’"

Meanwhile, on this day, marking the "Police Day Week," the police appointed actor Choi Bul-am (81), who famously starred in the past drama "Investigation Chief," as the first Honorary Criminal Affairs Director (Chief Superintendent), and appointed 10 individuals active in the cultural and artistic fields as honorary police officers.
