The Knowledge Centre at the Strategy and Performance Development Department at Abu Dhabi Police General Headquarters has announced the Knowledge Forums programme plan for 2016. The inaugural forum will be held on January 19th and will discuss the British experience in the field of ports and borders' security.

Major-General Dr. Nasser Lakhrebani Al Nuaimi, Secretary-General of the Office of H.H. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, emphasised the importance of organising knowledge forums periodically, due to their instrumental role in spreading the culture of knowledge across all police sectors.

He said, "These forums also aim to transform practical and scientific realities through the implementation of best practices. They present an excellent opportunity to discuss and review distinguished experiences, and to exchange and develop knowledge."

Major-General Dr. Al Nuaimi also stressed the importance of forums knowledge in reviewing global experiences with a view to take advantage of these experiences to upgrade police and security work in a constantly changing world. He explained that a set of topics has been chosen and will be discussed and addressed by the Knowledge Forums held by the centre throughout the year. These topics include issues related to the naturalisation, residency and ports by reviewing the American experience in addressing the risks of violators.

Major Khaled Hussein Al Khoury, Director of the Knowledge Centre, said that the inaugural Knowledge Forum, launched in 2014, was the platform to a series aimed at examining and evaluating global experiences in order to implement them and make them relevant locally in police and security work.

He said, "The early forums tackled many major issues of concern to communities and public opinion around the world, notably the discriminatory use of force by a certain country. This experience was instrumental in establishing the appropriate mechanisms for the use of force in police and security work in a way that would guarantee human rights and maintain the rule of law. Other forums addressed the proper ways to maintain information confidentiality via sophisticated methods and standards. The recommendations issued by another forum were used to examine amendments to organisational structures."
