Intersec 2025: A Global Platform for Policing Excellence
Prominent speakers include officers from Metropolitan Police, INTERPOL, UAE Financial Intelligence Unit, Singapore Police Force, and Abu Dhabi Police.
Intersec 2025, the premier global event focused on security, safety, and fire protection, will shine a spotlight on how technological advancements and data-driven insights are revolutionizing law enforcement and public safety in the Middle East. This landmark event will host the inaugural Intersec Policing Conference, scheduled to take place from January 15–16, 2025, at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). The conference will bring together over 50 distinguished speakers who will share best practices and innovative strategies in policing from across the globe.
Addressing Challenges in Law Enforcement
As global law enforcement agencies grapple with growing threats such as cybercrime and financial fraud, the Intersec Policing Conference will serve as a vital platform for dialogue and collaboration. This event will address critical challenges in public safety, offering practical solutions to navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of modern law enforcement. The conference will foster discussions on innovation, resilience, and the future of security.
Thought Leaders in Law Enforcement
The conference will feature a stellar lineup of thought leaders from the law enforcement community, including notable figures such as H.E. Major General Pilot Faris Khalaf Al Mazrouei, Commander in Chief of Abu Dhabi Police; Aileen Yap, Assistant Director of the Anti-Scam Command, Singapore Police Force; Ali Ba'Alawi, Chief of the Financial Intelligence Unit, UAE; Nick Court, Assistant Director of IFCACC Strategy and Capability at INTERPOL; and Omar S. Saad, Head of Strategy and Innovation at the Metropolitan Police. These experts will provide valuable insights into the future of law enforcement and emerging technologies that are transforming policing.
Speaking ahead of the conference, Major Mohamed Al Abdulla, Head of the Financial Crimes Division at Bahrain’s Ministry of Interior, highlighted the use of data and technology for combatting scams: “Most scams will increasingly involve AI and robots, with fraudsters utilising advanced tools to conceal their IP addresses and locations. They will transfer stolen funds through hot or cold wallets and use mixers to obscure the origins of the cryptocurrency. To combat this, law enforcement is investing in tools that can prevent such crimes and predict scams before they occur by leveraging the right data and ensuring proper integration between relevant entities.”
Role of Artificial Intelligence in Crime Prevention
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a game-changer in the fight against financial crime. By analyzing massive amounts of transaction data, AI can identify suspicious patterns and anomalies that may indicate fraudulent activity. PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC) reports that integrating AI into anti-financial crime strategies enhances the accuracy and efficiency of fraud detection, empowering businesses and law enforcement agencies to stay ahead of evolving criminal tactics.
Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: “As technologies evolve, so must the strategies and tools employed by our law enforcement agencies. The inaugural Intersec Policing Conference will showcase policing best practices from around the world, offering actionable insights for creating safe, secure, and smart cities for all.”
Key Topics of Discussion at the Conference
Law enforcement professionals attending the conference will engage in discussions on forward-thinking topics that reflect the future of policing. These include the impact of digital transformation on law enforcement, proactive and productive policing strategies, innovations in road safety, the role of automation in policing, the use of drones, and the future of quantum-led crime detection, among others.
