Emirates Vacation Club, a leading vacation ownership company in Dubai, UAE, will be sponsoring the fifth International Sports versus Crime Conference organised by the Dubai Police which is aimed at creating awareness about crime prevention and reduction.

The conference, scheduled to take place from January 26 to 28 at Dubai Police Officers Club Stadium, will recognise the role played by both public and private sectors in keeping a safe environment for the country’s tourists and residents.

Under the motto “Sports without Deviation”, the conference will be highlighted by key speakers from different fields of sports and famous dignitaries.

Ashraf El Zarqa, chief operating officer for Emirates Vacation Club, said: “We are pleased to be associated with Dubai Police on this conference where we can benefit from local, regional and international experiences in employing sports as a tool to combat delinquent behaviour in society. We are grateful to Dubai Police for their strong efforts and initiative to raise awareness about issues that affect both guests and residents. We are confident that this initiative will benefit the community and the nation at large.”
