The minister said the borderless nature of tech-enabled crimes requires solutions that go beyond borders.
Law and Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam said homeland security departments face an uphill task of tackling more of such problems with limited resources.
“Over the next five to seven years, economic opportunities will explode. There’ll be a lot more infrastructure. There’s travelling that’s going to really skyrocket, even more than what is happening now,” he said. The inaugural event, which will be held biennially, was co-organised by the Home Team Science and Technology Agency , the GIE Milipol consortium, and events company Comexposium Singapore. It is supported by Singapore’s Ministry of Home Affairs and France’s Ministry of the Interior.
Mr Shanmugam said that to tackle the growing security issues, international partnerships and collaboration need to be strengthened, especially in the area of technology development, adding that the borderless nature of tech-enabled crimes requires solutions that go beyond borders. France’s Minister of the Interior Gerald Darmanin, who also spoke at the launch of the event, said Singapore was a “natural choice” as a partner for the Milipol trade shows because of its central role in the field of research and innovation, and in the area of security technologies.
