The study takes a logical approach, starting with a theory and concluding with a hypothesis test. The study is quantitative in nature, with statistical analysis based on descriptive measurements as well as variance and covariance methodologies. The acquired data was analysed using SPSS 23 and SMART PLS 3.0. The study population for this analysis was all workers of the Dubai Police in the UAE, with a total sample size of 374. The findings revealed that policy and training variables have significant impacts on the performance against cybercrimes. The findings also revealed that management support, digital technology and security services variables have significant impacts on cybercrime prevention and detection performance.
