In an opening speech, Brigadier Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah Al Mualla, Director of Excellence and Pioneering at Dubai Police, said that the symposium is an opportunity to acquire knowledge in the field of future policing and AI, calling on attendees to focus on the best disciplines and cope with the requirements of the era, "which will make us at the forefront in this field".

Following the opening speech, Lt General Al Shaafar, Lt. General Dhahi Khalfan Tamim, Deputy Chairman of the Dubai Police and Public Security, and Major General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-In-Chief of Dubai Police, officially launched the 'Police Indicators' website.

The website acts as a 'one-stop' hub for police KPIs where police forces from around the globe can compare performances and best practices. With the new project Dubai Police hope the website will offer police forces, police executives and other interested parties the opportunity to agree on a set of core business KPIs, these KPIs can then be the basis of police performance benchmarking and analysis.
