This meeting was organized to share the operational achievements of the Intelligent Video Search Room and discuss future development directions among key institutions and companies involved in the project, including Pohang City, Pohang Nambu Police Station, and POSCO Holdings.

During the meeting, each institution reported on their operational achievements, shared cases where the intelligent video search service contributed to solving actual incidents, and explored more effective operational methods.

Since 2022, the city has been promoting the ‘Smart City Challenge Main Project’ led by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, introducing the intelligent video search service as a core service in the field of smart city safety.

This service utilizes AI-based video recognition and deep learning technology to quickly analyze CCTV footage, focusing on securing the golden time for rapid investigation support in cases such as missing elderly with dementia or violent crimes.

In particular, the Intelligent Video Search Room established at the Pohang Nambu Police Station plays an important role in police investigations and maintaining public safety, and the meeting facilitated the exchange of various opinions to enhance the service’s effectiveness.

In fact, the use of the Intelligent Video Search Room has led to swift resolution of violent crimes, significantly improving efficiency by reducing the time required for video searches by about 80% compared to before. Additionally, more than 3,000 search requests are processed annually, effectively supporting police investigations and public safety activities.

At the meeting, public-private cooperation plans for future service advancement were discussed, with key improvement tasks including enhancing the precision of AI analysis and expanding the CCTV network.

Heo Jeong-wook, Director of Urban Safety and Housing Bureau of Pohang City, stated, “Urban safety is a crucial factor determining citizens’ quality of life, and establishing an advanced public safety system using smart technology is essential. We will continue to work closely with the police and private companies to make Pohang a safer city.”
