The MoI reiterated its commitment to enhancing regional and international cooperation in the fight against the scourge of drugs, and the need to take part in Arab and international anti-drug conferences, forums and meetings, in order to exchange information and expertise. It also stressed its keenness to strengthening all areas of cooperation among Arab anti-drugs bodies, and activating existing conventions with the aim of countering the spread of new drugs and psychotropic substances in the region.

In his speech at the closing event, Colonel Al Suwaidi stressed the MoI’s commitment to accelerate the pace of cooperation with civil society organizations and other anti-drugs entities in the fight against the drug scourge, which targets the youth; the pillar of the UAE and its future. This vision is based on the MoI’s belief in the vital role of the community to reduce demand on new drugs and psychotropic substances.
He also expressed his gratitude for UNODC’s efforts and cooperation with the MoI in the fight against drugs.

He added: “The MoI has adopted diverse strategies in the fight against drugs. These include, among others, intensifying social awareness programs; enhancing community members’ awareness about the harmful effects and risks of new drugs and psychotropic substances; establishing strategic partnerships with civil society organizations to curb this scourge; as well as utilizing best and advanced technologies in the fight against drugs, and boosting staff members’ competencies by adopting quality training programs, based on modern methods, tools, and concepts used in the fight against drugs.
On the second day, the conference reviewed a paper presented by Colonel Saeed Abdullah Al Suwaidi, Director General, Anti-Narcotics Federal Directorate General at the Ministry of Interior. In his paper, Colonel Al Suwaidi tackled the UAE experience in the fight against new synthetic drugs and psychotropic substances; stressing the importance of accelerating the pace of local cooperation among anti-drugs bodies, and strengthening regional and international cooperation to enhance drug fighting efforts.
Colonel Al Suwaidi also gave several examples on field operations that resulted in detecting and seizing large amounts of drugs, thanks to regional cooperation between anti-drugs authorities; notably the “Wooden Doors” operation that was conducted in collaboration between anti-narcotics authorities in the UAE, Kuwait, and Lebanon.
Colonel Dr. Khalid Al Sumaiti, from the General Department of Forensic Science and Criminology at Dubai Police, presented another paper pertaining to the various challenges faced by crime labs in detecting and analyzing new drugs and psychotropic substances.

Abu Dhabi Police Honor Informants who Reported Emergency Situations as Incentive for Others
One Informant Reported a Fire in a Wilderness Area; another One Gave Accurate Information about an Accident
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates - Friday, February 20th 2015 [ME NewsWire]
The social initiative implemented by the Operations Department at Abu Dhabi Police, aimed at honoring people who contact the Operations Room (999) to report emergencies, prompted citizens to quickly report incidents and other emergency situations. This has contributed to speed of response and intervention at the time of accidents and an increase in public trust.
First Lieutenant Fahed Al Dahmani, supervisor of the social responsibility program at the Operations Department, explained that the initiative recognizes the efforts of citizen informants who cooperated with the police in protecting lives and property. The initiative also aims at boosting partnership of individuals and community institutions with the police, in the quest to curb accidents and unfavorable phenomena.
He also noted that the Operations Room receives emergency reports on the emergency number 999. He noted: “As a part of the initiative to recognize the social responsibility of the callers and encourage others to follow suit, the Operations Room received two different reports. The first call reported a fire that broke out in a non-residential area. The caller said that he saw smoke in a remote area. When he arrived there, not without a good deal of difficulty, he discovered the fire and alerted the Operations Room operators who immediately responded to the report.”
Adding further, he said: “The prompt reporting of the fire and the accurate description of the location has contributed to the speed of response and timely intervention of the competent police authorities and ultimately helped to contain the fire outbreak and prevent it from spreading to the trees and nearby residential areas.”
The second call reported a traffic accident that occurred on a busy and vital intersection. The caller provided accurate information on the situation, including the accident location, the number of the vehicles involved, and the estimated number of causalities. He also helped the police in moving some of the vehicles off of the accident location, which improved the speed of response and allowed timely arrival of medical teams to provide first-aid to the injured.
First Lieutenant Al Dahmani stressed the commitment of the Operations Department at Abu Dhabi Police to constantly implement such programs, out of its firm belief in the valuable role of the public in supporting police officers to carry out their duties. “The department is keen on establishing the necessary standards to evaluate and classify informants’ reports, and to identify individuals that should be honored,” he continued.
He also noted that the caller's ability to report the incident quickly and accurately, as well as his efforts to manage the accident site pending the arrival of the police was instrumental in achieving prompt response, and contributed to maintaining lives and property.
For his part, Corporal Saif Al Bloushi, the program coordinator, stressed the importance of reporting accurate information to the Operations Room, who in turn, will contact the competent authorities and estimate the required number of staff, equipment, and vehicles to be sent to the accident location. “The information received from citizen informants is vital and essential in managing the incident and allowing the timely intervention of the competent authorities,” he said.
