Through this agreement, the institutions agreed to expand the promotion of national research and development projects in the field of policing utilizing information and communication technology, and to collaborate on data sharing and utilization, field verification of research outcomes, and dissemination of their application.

To this end, they will promote ▲ strengthening national research and development projects for scientific policing using information and communication technology ▲ sharing and utilizing data necessary for research and development of information and communication technology related to the Digital New Deal ▲ field verification and dissemination of research and development outcomes in the policing sector ▲ cooperation to enhance the ICT and software (SW) expertise of scientific policing personnel ▲ establishment of a dedicated department for scientific policing public ICT research and development.

To ensure the effectiveness of the agreement, these institutions will form a 'Consultative Body for Discovering Policing Demands Based on Information and Communication Technology' and operate it with the goal of sharing ICT technology trends and discovering new R&D projects in the policing sector.

Additionally, a specialized research center for scientific policing ICT will be established within ETRI, and based on the results of jointly developed projects, it will operate to enable rapid technological responses to policing-related issues such as new method crimes by reflecting the demands of the public and field police officers.

Kim Chang-ryong, Commissioner of the National Police Agency, stated, "As new digital crimes threatening public safety rapidly increase, the integration of ICT into police activities has become an indispensable task. Based on this agreement, the police organization will proactively respond to the diversifying new crimes and risks, creating an opportunity to realize a 'society where the public is safe.'"
