National Police Agency Establishes "Korea Task Force" with Cambodia... "24-Hour Incident Response"
Swift Victim Rescue and Investigative Cooperation
On November 10, the National Police Agency announced that it had established the "Korea Task Force" in collaboration with the Cambodian National Police.
This memorandum of understanding (MOU) institutionalizes a practical cooperation system, strengthening on-site response capabilities and information sharing for online scam crime complexes where Korean nationals have been heavily victimized. The Korea Task Force is a 24-hour response organization staffed by both Korean and Cambodian police officers, swiftly handling the entire process from receiving reports of incidents involving Koreans, to rescuing victims, conducting investigations, and repatriating suspects.
Yu Jaeseong, Acting Commissioner General of the National Police Agency, together with Foreign Minister Cho Hyun, met with Sar Sokha, Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, to discuss establishing a whole-of-government cooperation system and legal and institutional reforms to eradicate transnational crime. They also visited scam complexes near Phnom Penh to inspect the establishment of on-site cooperation systems and review measures for victim protection.
Going forward, the National Police Agency plans to share the operation of the Korea Task Force with neighboring ASEAN countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos, aiming to develop it into a comprehensive international cooperation model that encompasses crime prevention, suspect apprehension and repatriation, and victim recovery.
