Activities Department at the Abu Dhabi Police General Headquarters,
represented by Al Ain Police Officers’ Club, launched the “Police
Friends” Program for the children of the Al Ain Directorate’s staff. 60
male and female students of all ages have been enrolled in the program.
The
two-week program includes a number of physical and social activities
such as contests, games, sports, and religious seminars. The program
includes many visits and field trips to various locations, including the
Al Ain Zoo, the Al Ain Museum and the Al Bada Resort.
“The
program is in pursuance of the Police Headquarters’ instructions to
protect children from reckless behaviors and actions that are carried
during leisure times,” said Colonel Hareb Khamis Al Khaili, Deputy Head
of Clubs Department and Director of Al Ain Police Officers Club. He
added: “This program was prepared to acquaint students with their
parent’s work environment, and their duties in serving and protecting
society, as well as to encourage them to be creative and innovative.”
He
pointed out that the program includes a number of events, as well as
religious, social, instructional activities; many visits will also be
carried out to different departments and stations that would allow
children to see police work being conducted. He added that the program
benefits the children in many ways, and that the activities organized
are age-appropriate.
“All the club facilities have been prepared
for the arrival of the children and provide suitable services to
maintain their safety. The program was expanded to include girls,
enabling them to benefit from the program and its events. Awards were
allocated and contests were prepared to choose outstanding participants
in each activity and event in order to promote fair competition among
participants,” he revealed.
Al Khaili explained that many parties
contributed to the success of this program: Police departments and
stations (Public Relations at the Al Ain Police Directorate, the
Traffic Institute, Security Inspection Department “K9”, the Police
Colleges, and the Medical Services Department), Zayed House for Family
Care, the Al Ain Zoo and Aquarium, and the Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture
Authority.
At the end of his speech, Al Khaili stressed the need
for parents to monitor their children by enrolling them in centers and
clubs that provide constructive programs and activities, encouraging
them to increase their skills and potential, acquainting them with the
appropriate activities for them (especially regarding the use of
efficient modern technologies), and encouraging them to visit public
places that are age- appropriate. In conclusion, he said that the
various police departments will work to ensure comfort and service.
