“These developments necessitate adopting proactive measures capable of strongly and effectively contributing to the development of the security system.”

Al Jallaf added: “Dubai is a global economic and investment destination, and we at Dubai Police are keen to intensify our efforts in cooperation with our internal and external partners to strengthen the security system.

“Accordingly, the General Department of Criminal Investigation develops strategic plans based on global changes, anticipating the future of security work in confronting various types of crimes, including economic crimes.”

The Police senior figure said financial crimes pose challenges in fraudulent methods due to the increased reliance of countries and individuals on technology in professional and personal practices.
