Spot red flags faster

According to the Ministry of Economy, improving how government departments work together in
sectors not traditionally covered by financial regulators will further help spot red flags earlier and
act faster.
Officials from both the Ministry of Economy and Dubai Police highlighted that the agreement also
focuses on developing smarter detection tools to ensure long-term effectiveness.

Major General Expert Khalil Al Mansoori, Assistant Commander-in-Chief for Criminal Investigation
Affairs at Dubai Police, said: "The MoU with the Ministry of Economy is a significant milestone in
enhancing institutional integration among relevant entities involved in combating financial crimes.
Dubai Police is committed to supporting national efforts to counter money laundering and combat
terrorism financing by advancing its technical and human competencies.

"We aim to leverage Dubai Police's research, investigation, and financial analysis ecosystems to
develop effective, proactive mechanisms for detecting suspicious activities and enhancing rapid
responses to associated risks, in line with global best practices. This plays a role in reinforcing the
UAE's position as a secure and transparent global economic hub."
The two sides will also launch joint training programmes and workshops to sharpen investigative
and regulatory skills, create better analytical tools for decision-making, and collaborate on
awareness campaigns to prevent violations before they occur.

The new framework was signed during the World Police Summit held in Dubai and is seen as part of
the UAE’s ongoing efforts to maintain transparency, attract global investment, and ensure strong
compliance across all economic sectors.
