GaPS welcomes South Korean police officers
In January, GaPS had the pleasure of welcoming 3 South Korean police officers to Ghent. Hong Sung Jin and Min Keun Tae both work for the South Korean National Police Agency and are members of the Cyber Terror Response Center (NETAN). Hyeon Yu is a professor of Cybercrime Investigation at the Korean Police Investigation Academy. In order to ameliorate information flows, coordination of national investigations and cooperation of NETAN with international police forces, these three visitors did an international benchmark. GaPS composed for them a varied schedule of academic presentations on international and European police and justice cooperation, European institutions such as Europol and Eurojust and also facilitated study visits at the Department of International Police Cooperation and the Federal Computer Crime Unit of the Belgian police. They also familiarized themselves with the integrated structure and organization of the Belgian police organization and had a meeting with the former vice-president of Europol Willy Bruggeman.
