Major General Al Obaidly emphasised that such international recognition is in line with the leadership’s vision to seek excellence at the highest levels and in all fields, and it helps consolidate the force’s leading position in the crisis management field.

"Obtaining such accreditations and awards confirm the competitiveness of Dubai Police," he said.

Colonel Ahmed Bourguiba, Director of the Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Management Centre at Dubai Police, pointed out that the centre’s success in obtaining this accreditation is the outcome of the force’s tireless efforts to protect its employees, customers, and other stakeholders from infection and other adverse impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. "This recognition reaffirms the centre’s keenness to develop work systems and utilise the latest systems and tools to meet best international standards in all aspects," he added.
