In his opening address, Lieutenant General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police, extended a warm welcome to participating delegates.
He said that guided by the UAE leadership’s vision, major international and regional events and conferences hosted by Dubai and the UAE continue to promote sharing of ideas, trends and best practices that can accelerate growth in vital sectors.
Calling Dubai a city of the future and a land of opportunity, Al Marri said innovation and creativity are integral to its ethos and identity.
He highlighted Dubai Police’s recent launch of the Drone Box, an AI-powered platform for launching drones that has reduced average emergency response time to one minute and 13 seconds, across a total of 2,679 incidents reported.
The Dubai Police chief also cited the floating Smart Police Station set to be launched soon as an example of the innovation fostered by the government’s vision.
The first initiative of its kind, the floating station, located 10 km off the coast of Dubai, will offer 46 main services in criminal and security fields in seven different languages. The facility is expected to serve more than 500,000 people by 2030.
