Sharjah Police General Command organised a series of seminars, lectures and panel discussions during the 45th Sharjah International Book Fair (SIBF 2026), highlighting key developments in security, artificial intelligence, public safety and social stability.
The initiative reflects Sharjah’s commitment to promoting knowledge, strengthening security awareness and encouraging public engagement on emerging technological and social challenges.
Through its participation in the international cultural event, Sharjah Police brought together officers, specialists and experts to exchange knowledge, discuss contemporary security challenges and explore innovative approaches to improving policing services.
The sessions covered several important topics, including data management and its contribution to security efficiency, the growing influence of artificial intelligence on family relationships and social cohesion, and criminal justice approaches to emerging forms of crime.
Discussions also addressed intellectual property rights, legal protection, intellectual security and the importance of strengthening institutional excellence across government organisations.
A key focus was the role of artificial intelligence in enhancing police operations and improving service delivery. Participants also highlighted the appropriate use of emergency and non-emergency contact numbers, 999 and 901, to ensure effective communication with police authorities.
Additional sessions explored quality management, crime prevention, community safety and strategies to combat increasingly sophisticated drug-related crimes. Experts also examined the future of family stability and the role of security institutions in addressing potential social risks.
Sharjah Police emphasised the importance of using educational and cultural platforms to strengthen community awareness, promote professional dialogue and encourage knowledge sharing.
The participation underscores the police leadership’s efforts to support innovation, enhance public trust and develop proactive approaches to emerging security challenges while contributing to Sharjah’s broader vision of a safe, informed and resilient society.
