Dubai Police is gearing up to host the fourth edition of INTERPOL's Young Global Police Leaders Programme (YGPLP), held from August 26-29, under the theme "Policing in the Age of Artificial Intelligence."
The fourth edition of YGPLP will bring together young police leaders from 35 nations, along with international speakers and trainers, to explore the transformative role of AI in reshaping global industries and societies and how these changes impact security and policing.
His Excellency Lieutenant General Abdulla Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police, emphasised that Dubai Police is at the forefront of future-oriented policing and security.
"Dubai Police has adopted a forward-thinking strategy to ensure that police operations are readied to handle future challenges, particularly those related to artificial intelligence. This strategy aims to utilise the rapid advancements in AI to enhance police operations, develop innovative solutions, and ensure that police forces remain leaders in safeguarding communities and combating all forms of crime," he confirmed.
Al Marri added that the programme plays a crucial role in enhancing the performance of police forces worldwide. "It promotes effective and ongoing global communication and coordination among young leaders, enabling them to exchange expertise and improve responses to various security challenges. Additionally, it enhances the use of artificial intelligence as a key tool in policing operations," he noted.
The YGPLP 2024 in Dubai, now in its fourth edition, builds on the success of the INTERPOL General Assembly session held in Dubai in 2018, which inspired the creation of this initiative. Following this, Dubai hosted the inaugural YGPLP in 2019, with 32 participants from 26 countries. The programme has since expanded, with Dubai hosting the second edition featuring 35 participants from 33 countries and India hosting the third edition, reflecting these international assemblies' growing importance and success.
