Abstract: Quantum computing presents both unprecedented opportunities and significant risks for law enforcement agencies. For the Abu Dhabi Police, whose operations depend heavily on the secure handling of sensitive data and digital evidence, quantum advances could simultaneously strengthen predictive policing and cybersecurity while undermining existing cryptographic protections. Quantum computing offers both unprecedented opportunities and notable risks for law enforcement agencies. For the Abu Dhabi Police, which relies heavily on the secure management of sensitive data and digital evidence, advances in quantum technology could enhance predictive policing and cybersecurity but also weaken existing cryptographic protections. This study aims to develop an integrated framework to assess how quantum computing capabilities influence the risk management capabilities of the Abu Dhabi Police, by examining Abu Dhabi Police's organisational readiness, governance structures, maturity of technological infrastructure and cybersecurity awareness. Rooted in a positivist philosophy and a deductive approach, the study will employ a quantitative, cross-sectional survey targeting Abu Dhabi Police personnel in IT, cybersecurity, and risk management roles to understand their attitude and belief towards the framework. A structured questionnaire, featuring validated Likert-scale measures will assess awareness, readiness, governance, infrastructure, cultural practices, and risk management performance within the organisation. Advanced statistical analysis such as the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) will test the hypothesised relationships. The study aims to empirically determine the level of quantum readiness within the Abu Dhabi Police, by determining key organisational and cultural factors, and provide a phased, evidence-based roadmap for the secure and ethical adoption of quantum technologies in policing. Findings are expected to guide operational strategies and inform national security policies in the UAE.
