Naif Arab University for Security Sciences will host the 23rd Interpol International Symposium on Police Training from Sept. 26 to 28, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
Held every two years, the forum aims to find new ways to improve law enforcement capacity and international cooperation within the current global security framework.
This year’s conference will be held at the university’s headquarters in Riyadh under the theme of law enforcement training for a post-pandemic world.
Approximately 450 experts and specialists from around the world will focus on how law enforcement responded to and adapted to the coronavirus pandemic, and how the experience can be drawn upon to shape future training.
The discussions will center on three key themes of disruptive emergency scenarios, current and future training technologies, and building solid training foundations.
Talks will cover responses to the pandemic and other crises, how law enforcement organizations could harness evolving technologies such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence to support training and hybrid learning, and ways to ensure that training is sustainable and has a long-term impact.
The symposium is part of a strategic partnership between Naif Arab University for Security Sciences and Interpol, which has resulted in the implementation of several joint programs that have contributed to the Arab and international fight against crime. The university is also a member of the Interpol Global Academy.
