The Commander-in-Chief also reviewed preparations for major Dubai Police events, including the upcoming World Police Summit, scheduled to take place from November 16 to 18 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The summit will bring together police leaders, security experts and decision-makers from around the world to discuss emerging security challenges, artificial intelligence, digital transformation and combating organised crime.
In addition, Lieutenant General Al Marri received an update on preparations for the UAE SWAT Challenge, one of the world’s leading tactical team competitions. The annual event brings together elite units from across the globe to exchange expertise, explore the latest rapid intervention practices and assess operational readiness in handling different security scenarios.
