Dubai Police, Arab Academy MoU for maritime education

The Dubai Police General Command has recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport (AASTMT), to strengthen cooperation in the fields of education, training in maritime education.

The agreement includes cooperation between both parties in maritime education and training, and training courses for maritime security, in addition to benefiting from the academy’s capabilities in artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technologies.

The agreement also paves the way for setting up an awareness media programme within the UAE to promote joint activities between both entities, attract more candidates for marine studies, coordinate public participation in events, and hold conferences and workshops in the field of maritime security

Maj. Gen. Bin Fahd, Assistant Commander-in-Chief of Academic Affairs and Training, said Dubai Police is keen to strengthen its partnerships with various educational institutions - locally and globally - to train, qualify and raise the efficiency of human resources across various sectors, including the maritime sector.

“Our success depends on the scale of development and innovation that we adopt in our security and operational systems. Which is why we are keen to partner with all parties and institutions that support achieving this goal, especially AASTMT with their expertise and expert academic cadres. We believe that our partnership will significantly contribute to the development of maritime security and help equip our cadres with the best knowledge and expertise.” Maj Gen. Bin Fahd said.
