ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates - Thursday, September 19th 2013 [ME NewsWire]
As
part of its ongoing commitment to keep abreast with all community
events, the Abu Dhabi Police is taking part in the Abu Dhabi
International Motorbike Show, which kicked off on Wednesday evening at
Marina Mall in Abu Dhabi. During the show, the Abu Dhabi Police GHQ will
showcase its Falcon bike “Al Saqr”, which dazzled the public and
visitors with its ability to work hard, thanks to its powerful engine. .
The
Falcon was designed specifically for the Abu Dhabi Police, with unique
features, unprecedented in the region, to ensure better interaction with
the youths’ wishes and hobbies. This innovation has played a
significant role in enhancing public trust in the police institution and
promoting road safety. The bright-red and chrome Falcon bike,
emblazoned with the Abu Dhabi Police logo is equipped with a siren,
flashing lights, gloves, and most importantly a first-aid kit. The
Falcon is characterized by its distinguished style, combining the unique
UAE heritage and modern international styles.
Since its
unveiling in June 2009, the Security Media Department at the Secretariat
of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior,
has been using the Flacon Bike in all ADP traffic-related awareness
campaigns targeting young people.
Moreover, the Traffic and
Patrols Directorate is currently organizing a traffic-related exhibition
to showcase the various bikes used by the directorate. It is also
distributing awareness-raising publications to promote traffic awareness
among bikers, reduce bike-related traffic accidents, in line with the
ADP road safety strategy and the societal communication methodology.
Head
of the Community-based Initiatives Team for the “Together” campaign in
Abu Dhabi, Major Khalid Al Fil, from the Public Relations Department at
Abu Dhabi Police Traffic and Patrols Directorate indicated that the
Motorbike Show that started on September 18 will continue through
Saturday September 21, and will feature a bike parade. Al Fil urged
bikers and visitors to abide by the safety procedures to prevent
injuries resulting from bike accidents, which cause 35 times more
injuries than other vehicle accidents.
Major Al Fil stressed the
need to adhere to security requirements for riding bikes, namely wearing
a protective helmet to avoid severe head injuries, as well as wearing
safety glasses that protect the eye against dust, gravels and insects.
“Bikers
must wear gloves to protect their hands, high custom boots for desert
bikes, and protective clothing, in addition to padded riding pants that
protect from the motor’s heat. It is also important to conduct a
thorough inspection of the bike, to check engine oil, and the good
condition of the front and rear brakes, lights, transmission gearing and
tires to avoid malfunctions during use,” indicated Major Al Fil.
Also
participating in the Show is the Community Police Department, the
Directorate General of Police Operations at Abu Dhabi Police, to
acquaint the public with its societal role. The department is also
distributing informational brochures at its pavilion, to highlight the
risks of begging and drugs on society. The department is also showcasing
an electric powered bike used in crowded places, particularly at the
malls, and during big events and national celebrations.
