In the area of ​​using media for security awareness and crime prevention, the conference emphasized the importance of media outlets in member states planning effectively to utilize all media, especially digital platforms, for security awareness and crime prevention, particularly cybercrime. This includes diversifying the production of engaging and impactful media content that influences the knowledge and attitudes of the Arab public. The conference also called for expanding digital media production focused on security awareness and the prevention of emerging crimes, targeting specific audience segments, especially youth.

Furthermore, the conference urged the use of official police websites and pages for marketing and engaging with the public on security issues. It requested the General Secretariat to coordinate with relevant media sectors and bodies within the League of Arab States to unify and activate efforts in the field of security awareness and the prevention of all forms of crime, especially emerging ones.
