Major General Maktoum Al Sharifi, Director-General of Abu Dhabi Police, signed the ''Future Policeman Charter,'' which sets out governance standards for the force's mission to harness artificial intelligence and adopt proactive thinking in security work as part of its quest to become one of the best police organisations in the world.
''The Future Policeman's mandate is to work towards creating a community that is free of crimes and responsive to these crimes building on global transformations and enablers,'' the Charter says.
The Future Policeman will also explore emerging technologies consistent with the UAE strategies for the 4th industrial revolution, space exploration and post-oil era.
