Al Marri hails Airport Security department

Lieutenant General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police, reviewed the future plans and strategic projects of the General Department of Airport Security.

These department’s projects align with the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, as Dubai prepares for a new phase of growth in the global aviation sector, aiming to lead international aviation for the next 40 years.

Al Marri also reviewed the strategic indicators, the readiness of core operations, and the modern systems, programmes, and technologies implemented by the General Department of Airport Security.

The Commander-in-Chief emphasised that the General Department of Airport Security in Dubai operates per a clear strategy aligned with the directives of the Dubai Government.

He highlighted that Dubai Police possesses the capabilities to achieve a high level of performance, supported by modern systems, programmes, and technologies.

“This positions the force as a model for advanced security operations in safeguarding the aviation sector and ensuring efficient processing for airport users. In collaboration with partners, we successfully secured 87 million travellers and passengers and nearly two million tonnes of cargo in 2023, all executed efficiently and professionally, providing a safe travel experience for those using Dubai’s airports,” Al Marri continued.

He also noted that Dubai airports have become the world’s most important airports, leading in civil aviation.

“To this end, Dubai Police has developed security strategies to protect the airports and ensure the smooth movement of passengers and cargo, in line with the scale of operations at Dubai’s bustling airports. They have introduced new systems, programs, and artificial intelligence to enhance security and streamline passenger flow while also training personnel to carry out security tasks professionally,” Al Marri added.
