Investigations workshop

The Supreme Legislation Committee in the Emirate of Dubai (SLC) conducted an awareness

workshop titled ‘Cybercrimes and Digital Investigations’. The workshop was designed to
disseminate legal and legislative knowledge among government employees. A large number of

attendees from various government entities in Dubai participated in the workshop, which was
delivered virtually via Microsoft Teams.

Dr. Faisal Hassan Al Omari, an SLC legal advisor, led the workshop, covering various areas
including ways to establish and develop an administrative, legal, and technical system for

conducting digital investigations into cybercrimes with the aim of combatting them. Dr. Al
Omari underscored the importance of identifying and determining all aspects and inputs

pertaining to this system. The workshop further explored ways to enhance the knowledge of
concerned officials at judicial bodies to better equip them for combatting cybercrimes, financial

corruption, money laundering, and drug and psychotropic substances trafficking and trading.
Furthermore, the workshop discussed various opportunities to leverage the latest technological

innovations, such as AI tools, in fighting cybercrimes by minimising or eliminating risk factors.
Additionally, the workshop covered the objectives and procedures involved in digital

investigations, as well as the skills required for digital forensic investigators.

Commenting on the workshop, H.E. Ahmad bin Meshar Al Muhairi, SLC Secretary General,
said: “In line with the rapid developments taking place in Dubai across various sectors, the
SLC is committed to forging a robust legal system characterised by modernity, adaptability,

and agility. Guided by the visionary directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al
Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, our aim is to foster

a legislative ecosystem that is conducive to social stability, economic prosperity, and welfare,
while safeguarding the safety and security of UAE citizens, residents, and visitors.”
