Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - Sunday, September 7th 2014 [ME NewsWire]
The Events Security Center of the Abu Dhabi Police Central Operations Directorate General has succeeded in organizing and securing 387 events in Abu Dhabi between the years 2011 and 2013. The organizing and securing of these events were in accordance with the highest levels and standards and were able to be completed through the coordination of partners, sponsors and stakeholders.

During the year 2012 alone, approximately 227 activities and events were held in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, marking an increase of 120% when compared to 2011. The total number of the public who attended the events exceeds 1 million and includes a number of dignitaries, diplomats, and state guests.

Lt. Colonel Abdullah Ishaq Suleiman, Director of the Events Security Center at Abu Dhabi Police said that the center comprises four branches: the Security Plans branch, the Coordination and Follow-up branch, the Operations branch, and the Monitoring and Technical Affairs branch. The center aims to heighten the level of safety and security during events and activities and to subsequently develop plans to reach the highest international levels in the field of organizing and securing events. Such action is necessary especially considering the continuous rise of hosting and establishing these activities in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

Lt. Colonel Ishaq explained, “The organization and securing of events is done through the cooperation and coordination of the 19 partners who belong to various governmental and semi-governmental sectors, private companies, and sponsors. Those involved examine the type of events, their location, the geography of the location, the elaboration of the plans, and the mechanisms in place for the work. These categories help to define the size and type of police force needed to participate in securing the event; how to facilitate the process of communication both internally and abroad; and which service providers should organize the events at the level of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

It also involves the development of plans and programs for the management of event security, and in following up on their implementation in accordance with the security policies and strategies adopted by the Abu Dhabi Police GHQ. The policies and strategies aim to ensure that the Emirate of Abu Dhabi continues to be a community that enjoys safety and security through the provision of high-quality police services to the citizens, residents and visitors.”

Lt. Colonel Ishaq pointed out that the issuance of the Administrative Decision No. 29 of 2014 pertains to the amendment of the name of Events Security Section to the Events Security Center. This move was made in order to maximize the use of modern technologies with the purpose of documenting the procedures that have been provided to the public in the field of events security services.
