Sharjah Police hold awareness lectures

Out of Sharjah Police’s keenness to communicate with the students, listen to them and raise their awareness with regard to safety and security of them and the community, individuals from both the public relations and traffic departments visited a number of schools in Sharjah.

The visits included awareness lectures regarding bad behaviour such as bullying, cyber crimes, and how to say “No”.

Lieutenant Colonel Jasim Al Swaidi, Director of the Community Police Department and head of the “Safety Shield” programme, noted that Sharjah Police were always keen to engage with the community members.

He added that such programmes targeted youth and students to ensure their understanding of their rights and instilled in them the basics of safety and security that would help them and the community around them to live a safe and prosperous life.

Awareness campaigns continue throughout the school year and includes all schools in the Emirate of Sharjah.

As part of its efforts to spread awareness among all community members and in particular students of the UAE, the Community Police Department of the Sharjah Police General Directorate recently organised a lecture on cybercrimes to raise awareness of students and parents of Fatima Al Zahra Primary and Secondary School For Girls.

The lecture was organised with the collaboration of the Parents and Students Council of Sharjah Education Council.

At a recent event, the Sharjah Police, represented by the Punitive and Correctional Establishment, deployed the “Vehicle of Hope,” in collaboration with the “Friends of Patients in Sharjah,” to help transport elderly inmates and People of Determination to hospitals and treatment centres.

Brigadier Ahmed Shuhail, Director-General the Punitive and Correctional Establishment, attended the launch of the vehicle, which has special features and aims to provide the best services.

Shuhail noted that this new service reflects the leadership’s vision to provide the best services to all local people while meeting the strategic targets of the ministry related to encouraging innovation and improving customer service.
