Middle East University hosted a senior delegation from the Royal Police Academy, led by its Commandant, Brigadier General Youssef Al-Badayneh, as part of the university’s ongoing strategy to strengthen ties with national institutions. This latest collaboration focuses specifically on the modernisation of security and policing through academic partnership, with a particular emphasis on the digital frontier.
Building upon this strategic vision, the discussions were primarily concerned with the establishment of specialised training diplomas that focus on the application of artificial intelligence and modern digital technologies within the security sector. These programmes are intended to refine the operational efficiency of personnel while significantly upgrading their analytical skill sets for the modern age.
Jointly, officials at the meeting highlighted the vital importance of integration between academic and security bodies to ensure policing remains adaptable to rapid global shifts. This cooperation is set to prioritise the use of data analysis and risk forecasting, alongside advancements in crisis management, cyber security, and intelligent systems designed to support critical decision-making.
To facilitate these goals, the meeting further explored how the university’s research expertise and infrastructure could be leveraged to build an advanced training framework. By embedding AI into the heart of police instruction, the initiative aims to enhance institutional performance and ensure that security forces are prepared for contemporary challenges.
Finally, the proceedings concluded in the presence of several high-level academic figures, including the President of the University, Professor Salam Al-Mahadin, as well as Prof. Anis Al-Mansour, Director of the Innovation and Professional Development Centre, and Prof. Qusay Shambour, Dean of the Faculty of Information Technology.
