The training course incorporates a mix of physical training, tactical exercises, and academic classroom learning to allow participants to share experiences and learn about various policing systems. Maj Gomez expressed her appreciation to the PIL team for their hospitality and organization, saying, "I would like to extend my thanks to the PIL team for their organisation and making us feel welcome".

Positive Spirit Council facilitates resident collaboration

Maj Gomez stated, "We were amazed by how Dubai Police pioneers the community policing concept through its Positive Spirit Council". The council facilitates initiatives to unite police and residents to address social issues and crime.

She praised the Dubai Police for their methods in addressing neighborhood problems and preventing serious crime. This approach demonstrates how law enforcement can extend beyond traditional roles.
