The World Police Summit 2025 will return for its 4th edition from May 13–15 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The event is expected to gather more than 17,000 law enforcement and government specialists from 130 countries.

Organized by Dubai Police, the summit will be held under the patronage of Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum.

The summit will bring together global thought leaders and experts in policing and security to address critical challenges and opportunities. It will also act as a vital forum for innovation, fostering collaboration between governments, private sector organizations, and global innovators to advance public safety and combat evolving threats.

Renowned for its focus on innovation, the summit’s exhibition will showcase pioneering solutions from leading international companies, including Samsung as the event’s strategic partner, alongside ESRI, Presight, and Thermo Fisher. More than 200 exhibitors specializing in security technologies, armored vehicles, marine safety systems, and surveillance solutions — such as Hikvision, Inkas Armored, AksumMarine, and Dahua Technology — will contribute to making this one of the largest and most impactful policing events on the global calendar.

Lt. Col. Dr. Rashid Hamdan Al-Ghafri, deputy director of the General Department of Forensics and Criminology for Administration Affairs at Dubai Police and chair of the summit’s general secretariat, said: “Dubai Police is honored to host the World Police Summit, a platform that unites influential leaders and specialists in law enforcement and security. The summit reaffirms our commitment to advancing global dialogue, sharing best practices, and encouraging innovation in policing to create safer communities worldwide. As we confront both current and future challenges, the summit offers an unmatched opportunity to form strategic partnerships and shape the future of public safety.”

The three-day summit will deliver an extensive program, with discussions covering 11 pivotal themes such as AI in policing, cybersecurity, organized crime, traffic safety, borderless policing, and anti-money laundering. Workshops, interactive sessions, and four specialized platforms will delve into emerging technologies, operational challenges, and strategies for enhancing global security.
