What impressed me most was how deeply Dubai Police cares for its people.' An Emphasis on Officer WellbeingKrstajić pointed specifically to Dubai Police's Happiness & Positivity Council and internal wellbeing initiatives, which offer psychological and emotional support to officers.'It is rare to see a policing institution with dedicated structures focused on the wellbeing of its personnel,' he said.

He expressed particular interest in the use of future foresight tools, organisational planning, and adaptive leadership practices. 'Much of the knowledge gained here will benefit me in future roles.

Inspiring Experience Reflecting on the overall organisation of the programme, Krstajić offered his sincere gratitude to Dubai Police. 'This diploma was not about abstract theories. It was built on real-world experiences and practical insights, shared by professionals with decades of field knowledge. It was a rare opportunity to learn, reflect, and grow—and I leave here inspired.' He concluded, 'Innovation is not only about technology. It is about doing what we have always done, but in a smarter, more thoughtful, and more human way. That is the lesson I take home with me from Dubai.'
