It targets the staff members of the police, customs, and naturalization, residency, and ports to familiarize them with the nature of banned material and prevent such items from entering through airports and ports. They are also briefed on some methods that were exposed in previous incidents to bring these materials into the country,” indicated Al Hammadi.

He added: “In conjunction with the training courses in the institute, training visits to the museum will be organized to acquaint attendees with its objectives. This aims to enrich the theoretical lectures with field experiences enhancing skills in the areas of police and security work.”

The inauguration ceremony was attended by a number of officers and representatives of the Customs Department at the Abu Dhabi International Airport. In parallel, the Director of the Ports and Airports Security Department at Abu Dhabi Police attended the graduation ceremony of trainees from four specialized training courses in the field of the ports and airports security; the ceremony was organized by the Ports Security Institute.
