Scientists at Dongguk University use leading technology of the 4th industrial revolution to construct an innovative policing system, called Googi, that can improve community safety. Technologies across 3 key groups, based on virtual reality, robotics, and big data are combined in a policing system that enhances prediction of crime and responses to it.
As a society develops, unfortunately, so does the sophistication of crime. Delinquency is constantly evolving, and delinquents use modern technology to escape the law. In such a scenario, a smart community policing system is essential to reduce crime and bring a sense of safety in residential areas.
A team of scientists at Dongguk University led by Prof. Joong-Yeon Lim decided to tackle this problem, and by integrating three main areas of their research, have developed an innovative policing system that they have named “Googi.”
This technology can greatly to predict and respond for ensuring a safer community environment

Of the research areas, the first focuses on virtual reality used for police training and crime education and involves reconstruction of crime scenes through simulations.
The second investigates how robotic devices can detect and respond to crimes when they happen, boosting surveillance. This technology uses forensic dentistry to identify victims and suspects. The form and pathology of teeth of Korean people, as well as bite marks, all contribute to personal identification.
The third pertains to big data, where offline and online information is analyzed for crime prediction and prevention. Virtual reality data, information provided by citizens, and forensic data gathered by robots are analyzed for crime prediction, with results handed over to local authorities.
Combining these three modes together, the team has built a crime prediction algorithm using information extracted from crime scenes, local communities, and forensics.
The researchers are hopeful that this can help the police identify crime hotspots in real-time and thus help them prepare for and respond to crimes in vulnerable areas. Source: dongguk.edu
