[Asia Economy Reporter Seongpil Jo] The Police University Institute of Security Policy announced on the 14th that it has obtained the 'Internationally Accredited Testing Laboratory' certificate from the Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (KOLAS) for the fire residue sample sector in the field of other petroleum products.

This certification acquisition by the Institute of Security Policy is the seventh case within the police. Previously, the police received international accreditation for fingerprint examination in 2010, digital forensics in 2020, and video analysis in 2021. On the 9th, they also obtained accreditation in the fields of footprints, tire tracks, and document examination.

On the same day, the Institute of Security Policy held a certificate presentation and plaque ceremony for the international accreditation at the Police University in Asan, Chungnam.
