Police Host International Security Industry Expo... "Cutting-Edge Technology in One Place"

Expansion of Exhibition Scale and Academic Conferences

The National Police Agency announced on the 5th that it will hold the "5th International Public Security Industry Expo" at Songdo Convensia in Incheon City from the 18th to the 21st of this month.

The International Public Security Industry Expo brings together public security-related products and technologies that are being researched and produced using advanced scientific technologies. So far, 409 domestic and international companies have participated, and 39,627 domestic and international buyers and citizens have attended.

This year, as it marks the inaugural year of leading future public security such as scientific policing and the launch of the National Police Agency's Future Public Security Policy Bureau, the exhibition scale, participation of companies and buyers, as well as forums and academic conferences will be expanded. Additionally, special zones for overseas police, drug crime, and related agencies will be operated.

Thirty-one simultaneous events will be held, including the International Forensic Science Academic Conference with participation from global forensic experts, the International Counterterrorism Unit Forum with counterterrorism agents from various countries, and a joint academic conference with KAIST on future public security strategies and directions. During this period, the International Police Chiefs Symposium (IPS), attended by police chiefs from major countries worldwide, will also take place.

A one-on-one export consultation meeting will be held by inviting police delegations at the director and section chief level from 20 countries including Germany, Australia, and Singapore. Various support measures for small and medium-sized enterprises will also be provided, such as equipment evaluations where on-site police officers directly assess the performance of equipment to be used in the field, and public procurement consultations inviting purchasing officers from public institutions.

An official from the National Police Agency said, "We hope that this expo, which offers a comprehensive view of the future of the Korean police, will raise public interest in the domestic public security industry."
