emirates7 - Dubai Police’s innovative approach to law enforcement and forward-looking leadership continues to earn global recognition, with Inspector Vekash Ramkissoon from the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service becoming the latest international figure to commend the force’s strategic vision and focus on human capital development.
Inspector Ramkissoon, who manages four police stations in Trinidad and Tobago’s Eastern Division, recently completed the second edition of the Police Innovation and Leadership (PIL) Diploma. The programme, held in collaboration with the Rochester Institute of Technology, brought together over 50 officers from 39 countries, offering them an in-depth look into Dubai’s advanced security systems and practices.
Describing the programme as “dynamic and inspiring,” Ramkissoon highlighted Dubai Police’s culture of innovation, adaptability, and discipline. He praised the force’s proactive approach to future challenges and their significant investment in developing their personnel. “What stood out most was their future-ready mindset and unwavering support for their team. Their commitment to nurturing talent is a major factor in their success,” he said.
With over 25 years in policing, Ramkissoon expressed his admiration for Dubai Police’s efforts to empower every member of the force. “Excellence is achieved when people are supported to grow. In Dubai, everyone has access to the tools they need to succeed, creating a robust and high-performing security environment,” he added.
He also commended Dubai Police’s strong emphasis on community engagement and international collaboration, particularly through initiatives like the UAE SWAT Challenge. According to him, such platforms are essential for strengthening global ties, fostering professional pride, and encouraging the exchange of ideas. “One of the first things we were told during the programme was that Dubai Police doesn’t just partnerships—they forge lasting, meaningful relationships. That really resonated with me,” he said.
In closing, Ramkissoon expressed his appreciation for the programme’s organisation and encouraged law enforcement professionals around the world to take part. “This diploma goes beyond academic learning—it broadens perspectives and sets the stage for a global culture of innovation in policing,” he concluded.
