High profile, global security event, the World Police Summit is the first of its kind to be held in the Middle East, taking place at the Dubai Exhibition Centre from 14-17 March 2022.

Organised by dmg events and supported by Dubai Police, the conference and exhibition, which focuses on the future of policing, public safety and security, will play an important role in developing the thought-leadership, direction and strategies that prepare police and law enforcement agencies for emerging policing challenges. It will also provide a platform for law enforcement agencies to collaborate and share ideas on the latest solutions required to enhance public safety and security in the face of multiple emerging threats, including the growth of international criminal networks and cross-border cybercrimes.

Lieutenant General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police, said: “The summit is an important opportunity for senior local, regional and international police and law enforcement officials to connect with governments and policy makers to discuss the key priorities shaping the future of policing. As a first of its kind event in the region it will strengthen Dubai Police and the UAE’s leadership in innovative policing, crime prevention and security.”

Chief Cynthia Renaud, IACP President, said: “As the world’s largest and most influential professional association for police leaders, the International Association of Chiefs of Police is proud to partner with Dubai Police for the World Police Summit. Our goal, to make the world a more secure and protected place, is closely aligned with the World Police Summit, and we are honoured to support our colleagues in Dubai.”

Over four days, the World Police Summit will feature over 200 speakers and attract over 2,000 delegates across six strategic conferences. With keynote speeches from Ministers of the Interior and Justice and leading police and law enforcement professionals, the plenary sessions will debate key policing and law enforcement trends and address the challenges and priorities created by smart cities, cybercrime, rapid population growth and urbanisation, evolving digital technologies, resource scarcity and the post-pandemic impact on public safety and security.
