Currently, Mars is being studied by scientists with the help of ‘Access Mars’. But with the future in mind, Abu Dhabi Police reveals its 100-year vision.
Heralding a whole new era for the UAE’s space and interplanetary ambitions combined with visionary policing and security goals, the Abu Dhabi Police has announced a hyper-futuristic outer space project of its own.
The Abu Dhabi Police on the 15th of November announced that it is planning to establish a large, smart project in outer space by its centennial year 2057, ushering in a new “golden age” of policing.
Among the mind-blogging targets envisioned by the Abu Dhabi Police, police officers are being sent to Mars on a UAE-built spaceship and setting up the first ever police center on Mars, among the long-term goals.
Other targets include creating the first-ever cadre of astronaut officers to police outer space; foresight future police who will work to prevent crimes; 3D-printed police patrol vehicles and even a police center; robot cops that speak every language on earth; replacing 50% of the police force with robots, and carrying out half of all policing and security decisions based on data mining and analysis.
The strategic program, to be implemented during the next four decades, will design a future and establish projects that work towards a proactive security program in the second half of the 21st century.
Taking policing into outer space
The Abu Dhabi Police’s centennial vision (1957-2057) is designing a future vision for the emirate that takes scientific and security breakthroughs into the field of outer space.
As the world gets increasingly digital and connected online, Major General Maktoum Al Sharifi, Director-General of the Abu Dhabi Police, said that the police, too, could achieve impressive tangible progress in the digital world to start with, and then move into taking police and security work to outer space and then Mars. The UAE has already announced its plans to reach the red planet by 2021 and build the first colony there by the year 2117.
According to Al Sharifi, the centennial strategy has three main plans: short term, till 2022; medium term, for 2030-2040, and long-term, until 2057.
A century of policing
The centennial strategy of the Abu Dhabi Police centers around three main axes. First, it aims to establish a new administration in outer space, build smart traffic programs, and flexible future police buildings.
The second part includes the Genomic Police, space police patrols, robot cops for exploring outer space, satellites for monitoring crimes and securing data against piracy, and a simulation model of the Abu Dhabi Police Centre on Mars. Additionally, artificial intelligence (AI) systems will direct the behavior of inmates in penal institutions, nano-robots used for firefighting, air traffic police set up and more.
Major-General Mohammed Khalfan Al Romaithi, Commander-in-Chief of the Abu Dhabi Police and a member of the Executive Council said that the new strategy will build better, smarter living conditions for future generations
The official believes it would help the police make Abu Dhabi a safe city, happier and positive society, direct its resources smartly and lead the world into the post-oil future global economy.
