Abstract | [Summary quoted from the beginning of the chapter:] This chapter provides a concluding summary of the key themes arising from the 14th annual International Police Executives Symposium (IPES) held in Dubai on April 8-12, 2007. It is clear from the contributions in this book that ongoing urbanization willl continue to present security challenges in much of the world, not least in engaging with disaffected communities and at the same time addressing global organised crime. This chapter begins with a short section describing the law-enforcement work of the host city of Dubai: "a city that easily combines on the one hand both modernity and progress, and on the other hand, security and safety" (Abdulla, 2007, p. 5). This chapter is a tribute to the Dubai Police. |
