The
Abu Dhabi Police, represented by the Capital Police Directorate at the

Major General Al Menhali also praised the Abu Dhabi
Police’s ongoing commitment to provide the best services, in line with
its vision to ensure that Abu Dhabi remains a society that enjoys safety
and security, by providing high quality police services to citizens,
residents and visitors of the emirate. He also highlighted the Abu Dhabi
Police’s mission to work diligently to achieve a secure society, to
maintain stability, reduce crime rates and achieve justice for all, so
as to enhance public confidence in the police. He also explained that
the survey's results contribute to further efforts to provide society
with the best police services.
Additionally, Major General Al
Menhali reiterated the Abu Dhabi Police’s commitment to execute the
higher leadership’s directives, which call for achieving efficient
communication between police and society. This would help enhance
public confidence and reassurance; encourage crime prevention efforts
and commitment to collect the public’s suggestions and opinions;
support efforts to overcome obstacles; provide quality services and
developmental projects; in addition to provide police services to
citizens and all community members, in a way that aligns with the
general strategy of Abu Dhabi Police.
For his part, Brigadier
Maktoum Al Shareefi, Director of the Capital Police Directorate, said:
"These results motivate us to exert additional efforts to maintain the
levels of excellence and leadership that we have achieved in the police
and security work. This would contribute to enhance safety and security
for all society segments and upgrade work quality as per the best
advanced international standards."
Brigadier Al Shareefi also
stressed that the survey included all segments and nationalities of the
Abu Dhabi society, based on scientific methods, with a view to advance
police work to better levels. The survey aimed to assess community
members’ satisfaction with the services offered by the Abu Dhabi Police
General Headquarters and the Capital Police Directorate.
"The
survey was conducted based on the methodology adopted by Abu Dhabi
Police, in terms of the survey template and the sample size (which
included 1150 individuals) categorized according to the population
number and characteristics ( gender and nationality)," added Brigadier
Al Shareefi. "The survey featured five main topics, namely; public
satisfaction with Abu Dhabi Police; overall impression compared with
last year; public confidence in Abu Dhabi Police; public satisfaction
with staff members’ good conduct, appearance, transparency and quick
response. The fifth and key topic was the public’s sense of security,
which amounted to 93.3%; the highest among international rates compared
to a number of world capitals, based on benchmarking indicators."
Brigadier
Al Shareefi explained that this rate is almost similar to the results
of the survey conducted by Abu Dhabi Police General Headquarters for
2013, to measure the public sense of security and safety, which
amounted to 93%. The survey was conducted by the Emirates Center for
Strategic Studies and Research as a neutral party to ensure
transparency.
The survey included a total sample of 1150
community members; (Emiratis 20%; Arabs 33%; Asians 40%; and Westerners
7%). Males accounted for 74% of the survey sample, while females
