Serious Games for the Police: Opportunities and Challenges. Special Reports & Studies Series at the Research & Studies Center (Dubai Police Academy).

This study describes the learning potential of serious games and their success in a number of domains such as the military, healthcare, education, and emergency services. The work aims to highlight the training opportunities available for serious games in the police domain in general, and in the Dubai police force in particular, and the challenges facing the serious games domain.
The success of serious games in the Dubai police force is demonstrated by the development of a serious game for traffic accident investigators. The benefits are highlighted by the serious game’s ability to improve the performance of participants during an experiment conducted in 2006 in the Dubai police force for 56 police officers. The study also describes the implications of the use of serious games in the Dubai police force for policy makers, educators, and researchers.
