Dubai Police is set to launch a Dh525 million forensic science complex next year.

Speaking to Gulf News on the sidelines of the Forensic Evidence Forum for University Students, Maj Gen Dr Ahmed Thani Bin Ghleita, Director of the General Department of Forensic Evidence and Criminology at Dubai Police, said that the facility will include state-of-the-art labs, autopsy units, repatriation services, and fully integrated postmortem capabilities.

The new complex will introduces pioneering specialties and have an AI-powered medical simulation theatre designed to cut examination times and enhance investigative accuracy.

This means that an autopsy that would normally take four hours will be completed in just five minutes using AI tools.

Forensic nursing specialty

It will be the only building in the country that will include a forensic nursing specialty, which handles 40 per cent of the forensic doctor's tasks.
