Research Context
Nowadays, Dubai remains to be one of the regions where many crucial changes and improvements occur in almost every field. People use the results of the technological progress, recognize their needs and opportunities, and develop international relations at different levels. The Dubai police department is one of the spheres where considerable changes are observed. For example, in 2016, a certain contribution in the form of crime prediction software was defined. The implementation of software provides ordinary police officers with hope and assistance to recognize crimes and dangerous events before they happen. However, this idea has several pros and cons, and people continue discussing its worth and impact on the modern Dubai population. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the current state of affairs in the Dubai police department and clarify if any other innovation strategies could be offered to reach the required security level.
Hypothesis
In Dubai, much attention is paid to the technological factor. A human factor continues to be neglected. The examples taken from the American and British police departments show that additional training, the consideration of ethical aspects, and the necessity of cooperation may help police officers a lot. Dubai police officers should have a chance to improve their work.
Research Question
Is it possible for the representatives of the Dubai police department to combine the technological progress inherent to Dubai with a human factor that is frequently used in the work of the US and UK police officers to promote the creation of a new strategy with the help of which the country may reach a high level of security in 2020?
Research Methods
To answer this research question, a mixed research method should be used based on random sampling. First, it is necessary to gather the qualitative data and clarify the current achievements in the chosen police department. It is suggested to interview five to ten police officers and explain the conditions under which they have to work and develop their ideas. Second, quantitative data may be taken from a questionnaire. Eight questions should be posed to ordinary citizens of Dubai, both males, and females, to investigate if they are satisfied with the quality of work of their local police departments. Finally, the analysis of credible literature is required to gather and compare the strategies developed in the US and UK police departments. Annual reports and current news about the US and UK steps and methods since 2013 may be used to find qualitative and quantitative data for the project.
Significance of Research
In general, the worth of this research lies in the possibility to investigate the strengths and weaknesses of the work of the Dubai police department and its current achievements, identify the opportunities and potential improvements, and use the examples from other countries to take the best approaches. The technological benefits observed in Dubai and the attention to a human factor that is evident in the work of the US and UK officers help to promote the strategy for Dubai police. Its results and impact are hard to predict, and this project is the opportunity to not only develop an innovation strategy but also predict its effects on ordinary citizens and police officers of Dubai.
