"AI Introduced to Assist Investigations as Crime Evolves Beyond Manual Excel Work"

Police Analyze Financial and Telecommunication Investigation Data Using AI

From Data Standardization to Network Visualization and Automated Reporting

The police have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) solution to analyze vast amounts of financial and telecommunications investigation data in order to strengthen their response to increasingly sophisticated and organized crimes that threaten public safety, such as voice phishing, drug-related offenses, and financial crimes.

On August 30, the Korean National Police Agency announced that they will distribute a next-generation intelligent investigation data analysis solution, which utilizes AI algorithms and visualization analysis to investigate large-scale data such as financial account and telecommunications records, to investigation sites nationwide.

The new next-generation solution not only automatically converts financial, telecommunications, and card transaction records—each of which may be formatted differently by various institutions or companies—into a standardized type, but also visualizes relationships between individuals, chronological trends, and location information embedded in the data. Through network and timeline charts, geographic information systems (GIS), and statistical and graphical analyses, the system is used to identify criminal organizations, accomplice relationships, and the flow of funds, as well as to uncover leads on additional offenses.

This solution is characterized by its ability to handle standardization of data, analysis of relational, chronological, and spatial information, and derivation of results within a single system. It can also automatically generate reports reflecting the final analysis results.

Previously, frontline investigators had to spend a great deal of time manually comparing and cross-referencing investigation data such as financial account and telecommunications records in different formats—often using Excel and manual work. The National Police Agency expects that the new solution will greatly support the consolidation of investigations into sophisticated and organized crimes, as well as the identification of accomplices and additional offenses.

Lee Mikyung, Director of Scientific Investigation at the Korean National Police Agency, stated, "Scientific investigation by the police will take the lead in enhancing the objectivity, completeness, and promptness of police investigations, thus ensuring a safer Korea and protecting the peaceful daily lives of our citizens from crime."
