Qualitative and unremitting efforts to protect and sustain security and safety are one of the most important national gains, if not the most important at all.

These efforts began before the union’s birth, and developed and made quantum leaps over the past 50 years, and were not limited to the traditional police work of investigations, interviews of victims and suspects, but rather developed into a tireless institutional work that achieved global excellence in levels of service, happiness and results.

The beginnings of security work with the establishment of police institutions since the fifties with a few policemen, to develop through stages that moved from establishment to construction, followed by the stage of modernization and qualitative and strategic development, to arrive today as we celebrate the fiftieth year of the National Day, and plan for the next fifty, for the stage of global leadership.

These efforts, under the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Interior, along with loyal people of the country who spared no effort to preserve the gains, but enriched them with strategic planning, development, innovation and benchmarking, enabled the Ministry of Interior to have the lion’s share in local and federal excellence awards, and regional and global competitiveness. , to become an institutional model that supports the rest of the novices in the path of excellence, and provides them with care and training capabilities, and even empowerment to develop, in a positive competitive model that aims to develop institutional work.

While we note that some deliberately not participate in the evaluation processes for a variety of reasons, the Ministry of the Interior is at the fore, regardless of the variables or updates of standards. The ultimate goal is for the country to remain the number one (1), and this is the denunciation of the leadership of the Interior and its heroes.

The tireless efforts were not limited to strategic development and institutional excellence, but also contributed to the development of the comprehensive justice system, and the Ministry of the Interior participated in local and global initiatives, and joint legislative action to confront emerging crimes such as advanced technical crimes, cybercrime laws and their updates, human trafficking and others.

My previous work closely with Major General Ahmed Nasser Al Raisi, for a period exceeding 11 years, prompts me to confirm that his well-deserved victory to represent the UAE and the police institution as president of the International Organization of Interpol, is the fruit of hard work, and the product of effort and long years and exceptional experiences. To achieve results, his experiences were not limited to the beginnings of his work in the forensic laboratory, or his establishment of information technology, or the leadership of “Tetra” security communication network projects, linking with the artery, or even the development of traditional police operating rooms, to turn into command and control rooms “C4I Computer Communication” Command & Control and Intelligence”, with planning qualitative initiatives that preceded the region, and won international awards such as the “GIS” system, and the latest and highest-ready “data center” projects according to UpTime standards at unprecedented rates locally (99.999%), information security, and the use of remote communication techniques in criminal procedures, which included efforts to empower the project, the formation of two “technical” and “legislative” committees, which resulted in the special law, which contained two articles that allow the protection of the child victim, dispensing with the actual presence of courts and prosecutions, As well as a nucleus for remote judicial, prosecutorial and police work before the “Covid 19” pandemic for many years, in a model and practical application to anticipate the future and its readiness.

As well as the establishment and development of the National Ambulance Services, and the Emirati Search and Rescue Team, the first regional search and rescue team, to turn into a regional and academic model to support the formation, rehabilitation and training of regional teams in brotherly and friendly countries, reinforced by the establishment of the Civil Defense Academy in Abu Dhabi, and later to become the first approved regional heavy search and rescue team.

These efforts were not the result of traditional practices in security work, and the recent elections for the presidency of the "Interpol" confirmed that all great achievements require time, and therefore, they deserve to be spent on time, effort and dedication in order to achieve them...

For the rest of the talk.
