During the high-profile meeting, Al Marri welcomed the police leaders and their accompanying delegation to the World Police Summit, emphasising Dubai Police's keenness to enhance cooperation with law enforcement and crime fighting in all its forms, especially transnational organised crime.
He pointed out regular meetings with police leaders at such summits foster constructive communication in crime fighting.
“The World Police Summit creates opportunities for a better future, especially as it is the world's more prominent event in gathering the elite of police, security leaders, and global law enforcement agencies," he said.
"A large number of visitors attend the summit sessions since they tackle the most significant global challenges in crime fighting and ways to enhance security and safety in communities," he added.
The police leaders praised the level and progress of security and police work in Dubai Police and the UAE, as well as the global reputation of the UAE in security and safety. They thanked the Dubai Police General Command for the ongoing cooperation and coordination in various security fields, confirming that the World Police Summit enhances communication between law enforcement institutions and strengthens diplomatic relations.
After the meeting, Al Marri, accompanied by police leaders and the delegation, went on a guided tour of the Dubai Police stand, designed to resemble the Smart Police Station (SPS), where they were briefed on the SPS and the police services it provides to all community members, without human intervention, 24 hours a day. The services include criminal, traffic, and community services, and how to quickly and conveniently apply for permits without the need to go to traditional police stations.
At the end of the meeting, Al Marri and the police leaders exchanged commemorative shields.
