Lt Gen Harib Mohammed Al Shamsi, Deputy Commander-in-Chief for Criminal Affairs, emphasized that the MoU aligns with Dubai’s leadership vision to establish a comprehensive security system adaptable to modern challenges. He highlighted the importance of institutional integration in achieving strategic goals for safety and well-being. Lt Gen Jamal Al Muhairi, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Civil Defence, underscored the role of smart technologies in enhancing rapid response mechanisms and incident management. This initiative reinforces Dubai’s reputation as a leader in security innovation and future readiness.
