Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly vital in modern policing, offering significant opportunities to enhance public safety and operational efficiency. The objective of this review paper is to examine the potential benefits and challenges of AI adoption by the Abu Dhabi Police in the UAE. Using a methodology review approach, this study analyzes existing literature on AI applications in law enforcement, focusing on predictive policing, surveillance, and decision-making. The findings highlight AI’s potential to shift police operations from reactive to proactive models, optimizing resource allocation and improving crime prevention. However, challenges such as data privacy, ethical concerns, technological complexity, and organizational resistance are identified as major barriers. The study contributes to the improvement of Abu Dhabi Police strategies for successful AI integration, including workforce training, cybersecurity measures, and the development of ethical guidelines. Future research should explore the ethical implications of AI in policing, community trust, and the creation of balanced policies that ensure accountability and effectiveness in law enforcement.
