2021 Winner
Mohammed Abdullah Hussain Al Ahli, Dubai Police
Mohammed Abdullah Hussain Al Ahli began his career in criminal investigations with the Dubai Police in 2018, with the goal of pursuing and arresting wanted criminals with Interpol's Red Notices, specializing in international gangs and criminal syndicates. Mohammed serves as the official representative for Dubai Police to both Interpol and Europol and acts as liaison coordinator for the embassies.
One of the many noteworthy accomplishments of Mohammed's career is his construction of new methodology in forensic analysis, which contributed directly to locating the head of a transnational crime syndicate involved in drug trafficking and smuggling operations between South America and Europe. This resulted in the synchronized arrest of 20 wanted gang leaders across multiple countries.
Mohammed's dedication to information sharing among law enforcement agencies was instrumental to these extraordinary results and exemplifies his commitment to the advancement of criminal justice information sharing throughout the global public safety community.
