The Police Thought Journal, which came out for the first time in 1992, was honoured at the event for its 30 years of work to improve police security knowledge, promote a scientific approach to fighting crime, and find important problems and possible solutions.

Maj. Gen. Al Shamsi remarked that the forum is a reflection of the support for all sectors and intellectual and research contributions to police sciences shown by His Highness Dr Sheikh Sultan bin Muohammed Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah. He also said that the forum was the result of all the work done by the Sharjah Police Research Centre.

Cyber terrorism, according to Dubai's Deputy Chief of Police and Public Security, Lieutenant General Dhahi Khalfan Tamim, may target anything from stock exchanges and banks to power plants and even driverless trains and hospital operating rooms.

To combat the rise of cybercrime, he urged police departments to invest in the education and training of young talent and future police officers in cutting-edge digital defences.
During the opening session of the event, titled "Current Challenges to Police Thinking," Lt. Gen. Tamim made these comments while presenting his paper on the topic.

The Director of the Police Research Centre, Brigadier General Dr. Khaled Hamad Al Hammadi spoke at the event, highlighting the Centre's ongoing efforts to integrate police ideas with scientific research.

Current difficulties in police thought, the digital platform for research and development, and the improvement of police thinking were all topics of discussion during the event.

The last session, "How to Enrich Police Thought?"  was delivered by Lieutenant Colonel Abdullah Al Maleeh, Head of the Scientific Research Department of the Sharjah Police Research Centre and marked the conclusion of the forum's events.

Along with the forum, the Sharjah Police Research Centre also held an exhibition of its most important and up-to-date security and police publications.
