Dubai Police has completed 65 of its 88 infrastructure and construction projects over the past five years, with the remaining 23 underway — a rebuild aimed less at the front line and more at the hidden moving parts behind it. The projects form part of a long-term strategy to build a more resilient, technology-enabled policing system. The progress was detailed at the annual inspection of the General Department of Logistics Support, where Lieutenant General Abdulla Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police, reviewed the state of the force’s facilities, logistics, and operational readiness.

Automation is being targeted as the next area for investment. Al Marri framed the expansion of logistics support and the accelerating adoption of artificial intelligence across operational processes as central to institutional readiness and to public sector excellence, in line with the Dubai government’s long-term vision. In practice, that has so far meant refurbishing facilities to international standards; the smart systems for asset, facility, and service management are still to be introduced.

The police’s planning efficiency in resource and asset management held at 99 percent across 2024 and 2025, with supplier satisfaction at 93.8 percent, employee satisfaction at 99.3 percent, catering at 99.9 percent, Officers Club services at 97.7 percent, and Esaad card services at 91.5 percent.

Sustainability is where the recognition has actually accumulated, with the department securing three local and international awards and published nine approved intellectual works. Its Carbon Zero Police Force project won the UK’s Green Apple Award, while its Standard Home Retrofit and Solar Energy for Buildings projects earned two honors under the Dubai Demand Side Management Excellence Program. Dubai Municipality added a Gold Category A food safety classification.

Closing the inspection, Al Marri called for continued investment in AI-powered logistics, sustainable infrastructure, and innovative operational solutions — the background machinery, in other words, that keeps a police force running long after the sirens fade.

g42's inception 42 wants ai to show its work before investors commit

Inception42, G42’s agentic AI company, believes that institutional investors want AI they can check, not just AI that saves time. Its new tool, Alpha, launched at SuperReturn Middle East, is designed to draft investment memos in which every claim points back to its source.

Alpha is aimed at private equity firms, sovereign wealth funds and institutional allocators, which Inception42 says are underwriting larger, more complex positions under tighter timelines. Most AI tools, it argues, speed up individual tasks such as a memo draft or a comps table but leave the investment strategy scattered across files, inboxes and committee decks.

Teams upload Confidential Information Memoranda, diligence packs and portfolio data, which Alpha turns into insights grounded in that material. It checks how complete the diligence is, flagging gaps before they become late-stage surprises, then scores the deal against criteria the institution sets and drafts the memo.

Sourcing every claim is the core of Inception42’s Alpha pitch. Investment committees, the company says, have little time to challenge the evidence, and the audit trail is meant to give them more certainty. The company also promises institutions proof that their own strategy was applied consistently on every deal.

“Every investment committee wants the same thing: the full picture of a deal and the confidence to act on it,” says Ashish Koshy, CEO of Inception42. “Alpha gives deal teams and committee members that picture, with every insight traceable to its source, so speed and rigor finally pull in the same direction”.

Alpha is available as SaaS, and investment data, Inception42 says, stays under the institution’s control at every step. Firms can tailor the tool with custom agents, and Alpha Skills will eventually add reusable, practitioner-designed workflows for tasks such as comparables analysis and credit assessment.

The company says Alpha is already proven in the region’s most significant financial institutions. If the tool works as described, committees get an investment memo they can interrogate rather than simply take on trust.
