DUBAI: Creative ideas are essential for building an entrepreneurial future in police work and are the engine that pushes the wheel fast in the race for excellence, said Lieutenant General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-in-chief of Dubai Police. Innovation in Dubai Police is an essential approach to improving performance and maintaining the standard and position achieved by Dubai Police for continuous pursuit of the best, he added.
