ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates - Saturday, March 22nd 2014 [ME NewsWire]

In cooperation with UAE Exchange, the Abu Dhabi Police, represented by the Community Police Department, will be organizing an international cricket tournament at the Sheikh Zayed International Cricket Stadium. The tournament is scheduled to take place on March 28 at Khalifa City “A”, Abu Dhabi, with the participation of Asian cricket giants from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.

The Community Police Department sent out invitations to attend the tournament as part of its awareness campaign; with cricket being a passion for Asian communities and labor population in Abu Dhabi.

Lt. Colonel Mubarak Bin Muhairom, Head of the Community Police Department at Abu Dhabi Police, said that the match, which was scheduled to take place on March 14, was postponed for organizational reasons, and will be held next Friday. He noted that the tournament is expected to attract more than 15,000 stadium spectators and approximately 1.5 million viewers via various media.

“This event complements the previous awareness campaign organized by the Community Police Department, targeting Asian communities in Abu Dhabi in order to acquaint them with the various security and community-based regulations followed by the UAE in residential areas. The campaign also aims to enhance  security awareness within the workers’ accommodation and work areas, as well as to urge them to abide by security measures and procedures established to maintain property and to enhance the relationship between community members and the police; given that ‘Security is Everyone's Responsibility’,” added Lt. Colonel Bin Muhairom.

He also stressed that over 2 million Asians have benefited from this campaign through the UAE Exchange’s 130 branches across the country. As part of the campaign, awareness publications and brochures were distributed in many languages, and are designed to communicate with Asian community members within the UAE. Giant screens were also used to spread awareness among the labor communities, and were set up at UAE Exchange’s different branches, along with various social networking sites.
