Dubai set to welcome global security leaders for World Police Summit

More than 220 global leaders will gather in Dubai for the fifth World Police Summit, bringing together law enforcement representatives and security experts from over 90 countries.

The three-day event, hosted by Dubai Police and organised by DXB LIVE, will take place from November 16 to 18 at Dubai World Trade Centre.

Held under the theme “Connected for Impact: Uniting Global Policing to Safeguard Future Generations,” the summit will feature 15 thematic tracks, sessions and panel discussions covering the latest developments and challenges in policing and security.

More than 150 exhibitors will also showcase new technologies and solutions, with startups and innovators joining representatives from law enforcement, the private sector and academia.

A new International Organisations Pavilion will bring together six regional and international bodies, including GCCPOL, ASEANAPOL, CARICOM and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).

Meanwhile, the World Police Summit Awards will recognise excellence across 13 categories, with the winners announced during the closing ceremony on November 18.

"No police force faces today’s threats alone, and the ones that matter most do not stop at borders. This edition is built to turn conversations into partnerships and ideas into practical solutions that make communities safer," Colonel Dr. Rashid Hamdan Al Ghafri, Secretary-General of the World Police Summit, Deputy Director of Dubai Police’s General Department of Forensics and Criminology for Administrative Affairs.
