Abstract

Dubai Police has employed cutting-edge video game technologies to create innovative virtual incidents ranging from crime scenes to traffic accidents to hostage scenarios in an engaging way that mimics real-life situations to allow the trainee to learn-by-doing to harness his skills in a safe and practical environment. The importance of such an innovative approach has been realized early on to enhance and support the traditional methods employed for learning and awareness. Over many years, Dubai Police researched and developed many virtual environment prototypes with a large portfolio of virtual environment products to reach the current state. These products have been replicated in different fields and are shaping up a technological transformation for the methods used in learning and awareness in the Police domain and beyond. Additionally, these products have been used and recommended nationally, regionally, and internationally. It is essential to highlight that all of these products have been developed in-house using Dubai Police personnel within the Virtual Technology Centre in Dubai Police and cover the four strategic goals of Dubai Police.
