On 19 October 2026, the ASEANAPOL Secretariat, led by Executive Director Police Senior Colonel Dr. Kongkrissada Kittithiraphong, held a preliminary virtual consultation with the Royal Brunei Police Force (RBPF) and the Royal Thai Police (RTP) on the establishment of a Forensic Network through the Electronic ASEANAPOL Database System (e-ADS).

The consultation was attended by Superintendent of Police Kartika Binti Haji Abdul Rahman of RBPF, the current Chair of the DVI/CSI Committee, and Police Major General Sujettana Sotthibandhu of RTP, representing the host of the 8th ASEAN Police Forensic Science Network (APFSN) Meeting.
