Officers have been shooting targets, climbing obstacles and whizzing down zip wires during the five-day event.
STORYLINE:
These police officers are some of the best in the world, fit to handle extreme real life situations, equipped with zip lines and rifles.
But they're not facing a real life situation - this is just a stage at the SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) challenge in the UAE.
More than 40 teams from over 20 countries are taking part in the five day competition in Dubai.
Each one of the tasks is designed to test officers' skill level, marksmanship, and endurance.
"These exercises help prepare the teams for any emergency situation that may arise, or really any scenario," says First Lieutenant Obaid al-Falasi from Dubai Police's Special Forces unit.
