Dubai Hosts Fourth Edition of the World Police Summit

The World Police Summit serves as a vital platform for international collaboration, the exchange of knowledge, and the sharing of crucial insights into addressing evolving challenges in policing.


As law enforcement agencies worldwide increasingly adopt advanced technologies, the summit will explore opportunities for developing cutting-edge law enforcement technologies, enhancing community safety initiatives, and strengthening cross-border cooperation.

 

Emirates maintains its strategic partnership with the summit this year, serving as the official airline partner of the World Police Summit. His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group, said: “We are honoured to continue our long-standing strategic partnership with Dubai Police, strengthening Dubai's position as the world's safest destination for tourism, leisure and business. Sponsoring the summit aligns with our priorities and vision for its agenda, particularly those related to aviation security and measures to protect airports, aircraft, and passengers from threats of terrorism and cyberattacks. The event is also enhancing international cooperation in aviation security, building partnerships between senior security officials globally, developing unified policies that contribute to enhancing global aviation security, and other topics important to the aviation world in general and Emirates in particular.”

 

Lieutenant General Abdulla Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police, commented: “The World Police Summit underscores Dubai’s prominent role at the forefront of global safety and security. Through impactful international events, such as the World Police Summit, we continue to foster robust international cooperation and drive innovative solutions to address today’s complex security challenges. Held annually under the esteemed patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the summit contributes to envisioning the future of security work. It empowers the participating police organisations to uncover the constantly evolving methods used by criminals and criminal networks around the world, enabling them to effectively anticipate and counter these threats to ensure the highest levels of security and safety for communities globally.”

 

The summit features a host of speakers with voices that will shape the global discourse on innovative, inclusive, and intelligent policing. The stellar lineup includes Irakli Beridze (UNICRI) and Michael LeVine (U.S. Consulate in Dubai), exploring the tech-driven future of policing. Human trafficking activists, such as Theresa Flores, will also participate, alongside cybercrime specialists like Dr. Charis Savvides and ethics champions like Jimena Viveros.


The summit will also dedicate a series of sessions to children’s rights and protection, creating a safer digital world free from abuse, and combating child exploitation. Key speakers include Maryam Al Obaid, Advisor at The Executive Council; Pragathi Tummala, CEO of International Society for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (ISPCAN); and Dr. Elodie Tranchez, Senior Lecturer at the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR)

 

The summit offers four specialized platforms covering 12 key tracks, including Anti-Money Laundering, Organized Crime, Borderless Policing, Beyond Digital Transformation, Anti Narcotics, Aviation Security, Police Operations, Cyber Security & Cyber Fraud, AI in Policing, Crime Prevention and Community Policing, Traffic Security, and Junior Law Enforcement and Capacity Building. Delving into these topics, participating leaders will examine the challenges facing the world's law enforcement agencies, presenting and discussing innovative solutions to enhance security and minimise risk.
