At a ceremony held in Sharjah yesterday, the Ministry of Interior, represented by the Center for Security Research and Studies at the Police Academy, received the first-place award in the institutional level category of the Sharjah Police Sciences Academy Award for Scientific Research in 2023. The Security Research and Studies Center won the award for a research that tackled security data and knowledge management in the digital environment and its role in developing the efficiency of security performance. Dr. Al Sayed highlighted the nature of the winning research, stating that it is a descriptive, analytical, and survey study aiming to uncover modern trends in data and security knowledge management in the digital environment and their role in improving security performance efficiency, as well as identifying the challenges facing this process. He noted that the research used questionnaires as a tool to collect data to understand the ability of the Police Academy staff at the Ministry of Interior to manage data in the digital environment, and to reveal how it helps them perform their tasks and enhance the efficiency of security performance at the Academy. He emphasized the importance of the winning research, particularly in understanding the impact of data and security knowledge management in the digital environment on the efficiency of security performance, especially given the lack of similar studies addressing the dimensions of implicit and explicit security knowledge management on security performance efficiency.
