What is Law No. (19) of 2024 in Dubai, and how does it regulate the grant of law enforcement capacity?

Law No. (19) of 2024, issued by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, regulates the granting of law enforcement capacity in Dubai to ensure proper enforcement of legislation and enhance public-private partnerships in managing public facilities. The law applies to employees of government entities, private companies contracted by government entities, and community members granted law enforcement capacity, excluding the judiciary and police officers. The law sets conditions for granting this capacity, including age, qualifications, training, and proficiency in technology, while mandating the use of Arabic in investigations. It also outlines the responsibilities of those granted law enforcement authority, grievance mechanisms, and the process for revoking this capacity. The law replaces Law No. (8) of 2016 and will be effective upon publication in the Official Gazette.
