Interpol Law Enforcement Forum Unmanned Systems (Air, Land & Sea)

NAIF Arab University for Security Science and Interpol, hosted the Unmanned Systems (Air, Land & Sea) Forum in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 10th & 11th of May 2023. The Forum provided the attendees with the importance of international cooperation and the interchange of knowledge among police forces, law enforcement agencies, industry and academia.

The main goal of this forum was to present that unmanned systems are land, air and sea-based vehicles that can be utilized by law enforcement to assist in operational policing tasks.  The main topics covered during the Forum:

• Use cases by member countries adopting these technologies for policing (feedback on effective experience and lessons learned).
• Pragmatic advantages and disadvantages of different technologies in police use cases.
• Emerging technologies integrating automated analysis and scanning (for comparative patrolling, crime scene capturing, etc.) using unmanned systems.
• Live demos to illustrate existing use cases by providers and police forces who are already using and developing solutions for their own needs, would also serve as a concrete exchange on real-life technology limitations and abilities.
• Gain an understanding of the training needs for law enforcement to integrate these technologies.
