Dubai Police A Global Leader in Cybercrime Prevention

Dubai Police

Dubai Police’s Digital Forensics Department has grown into a global leader in combating cybercrime, evolving from a small unit into a highly specialized force equipped with the latest technologies. From tracking criminals using emotion detection and gait analysis to tackling deepfake scams and financial fraud, the department handles around 100 cases each month.

A notable success involved solving a Dh50 million gold and watch heist, where investigators used advanced techniques to recover evidence from a submerged phone. The department also works to combat social media scams, such as fake spiritual healers exploiting victims financially, and job fraud schemes that steal personal data.

In response to emerging challenges, Dubai Police have expanded their efforts to counter the misuse of artificial intelligence in crimes such as identity theft and money laundering. Their expertise has earned international recognition, including certifications from ISO 17025 and ILAC, ensuring the highest forensic standards.

Looking forward, Dubai Police plan to set up digital forensic units across key areas in the city, such as Al Barsha and Bur Dubai, to enhance their capabilities at a community level. With ongoing collaboration with global agencies and continuous technological advancements, Dubai remains at the forefront of cybercrime prevention and digital security.
