The Dubai Police Academy trains officers not only in the UAE, but also across the GCC and neighbouring Arab countries.
Speaking to Khaleej Times on Thursday, Rashid Ibrahim, a first-year cadet from Bahrain, expressed his excitement being enrolled at the academy. He said, “It has always been my dream to join Dubai Police Academy due to its strong reputation and the training it offers.”
“I will make sure to graduate with a degree that will make my country and family proud,” added Rashid, who is currently studying Police Law and Science.
Another Bahraini cadet, Yousif Ahmed, also in his first year, is proud that he was able to pass the rigorous screening process. He said, “For many young men, entering a police or military is very tough – this is especially true for Dubai Police Academy due to its strong reputation and high standards. Fortunately for me, I passed.”

“(We) prioritise science, knowledge, and scientific research as a path to progress, ensuring the highest quality of education and training,” he said.
Colonel Abdul Aziz Muhammad Amin, Director of Student Affairs, said cadets undergo strict discipline and physical fitness level that transform them from civilian to military life, with strong focusing on military skills, leadership, and volunteering.
