Dubai: His Excellency Major General Saif Muhair Al Mazrouei, Assistant Commandant for Operations Affairs at Dubai Police, attended the closing ceremony of the 17th edition of the "Event Security" course. The ceremony was also attended by Brigadier Obaid Mubarak bin Yaarouf Al Ketbi, Acting Director of the General Department for Protective Security and Emergency, and Brigadier Ahmed Mardas, Director of the General Department of Training.

The course was organised by the VIP Protection Department at the General Department for Protective Security and Emergency, in collaboration with the General Department of Training. It aims to promote event security concepts among internal partners across Dubai Police's general departments and police stations, as well as external partners from police, security, and specialised entities involved in event security.

The three‑day course, held at Roxy Cinema in City Walk, was delivered by experts specialising in event security. It attracted 120 participants from 18 police, security, and specialised institutions across the country, alongside Dubai Police personnel.

Major General Al Mazrouei praised the course and the valuable materials presented by the experts, wishing success to all participants and urging them to transfer the knowledge they gained to their colleagues and apply it in the field of event security.

It is worth noting that the "Event Security" course is one of the key annual courses, aiming to achieve three main objectives: disseminating event security concepts to internal and external partners, enhancing the ability to initially deal with obstacles during events and notify the relevant authorities, and understanding the roles of all partners in events to increase cooperation among specialised teams.

The course included theoretical materials and practical training designed to reinforce knowledge and verify the ability to apply skills in the field, in line with best practices that reflect a high level of readiness. It also aimed to develop the efficiency and capabilities of security personnel and partners working in various sectors involved in event security, enabling them to perform their assigned tasks by equipping them with the knowledge and skills to handle obstacles, ensuring the achievement of safety and security requirements for everyone at event sites.
