KT announced on the 23rd that it has signed a contract with the Korean National Police Agency for the 'Police Body Cam Introduction Project' worth 19.5 billion won and will begin actively constructing a digital-based public safety infrastructure. The core of this project is to provide body cameras to over 14,000 police officers working at district police stations and police boxes nationwide to enhance response capabilities on the ground and achieve tangible improvements in public safety that citizens can perceive.
This project will be carried out over the next five years and is the first to begin after the revision of the Police Officer Duties Act in 2024, which formally classifies body cameras as official police equipment, and is regarded as an important milestone in the national transition to digital public safety.
KT proposed the establishment of an 'AI-based All-in-One Digital Evidence Management System (DEMS)' that reflects the difficulties and legal issues faced by on-site police. This system is recognized for its optimized technology for implementing smart public safety, which includes ▲ digitization of public safety scene videos to ensure the integrity of evidence, ▲ AI-based automatic identification and anonymization of sensitive information, ▲ AI analysis-based support for investigation and response functions, and ▲ wireless transmission and original preservation capabilities.
Additionally, KT has also secured the '112 Call Reporting System Linked Smart Device Project'. This project supplies smartphones and tablets to police patrol cars nationwide and accelerates the Korean National Police Agency's digital public safety innovation. KT plans to further strengthen its position as a key partner in the establishment of the Korean National Police Agency's digital public safety infrastructure.
