HCT training for Abu Dhabi police

ABU DHABI — The Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT) will train Abu Dhabi Police in English language and specialised diploma or bachelors programmes, according to an agreement.

A memorandum of understanding was signed between Colonel Mohammed Alawadi Almanhali, HR General Director, Abu Dhabi Police General Headquarters, Human Resources General Directorate (ADP) and Dr. Tayeb Kamali, HCT Vice Chancellor yesterday to establish a long term partnership for provision of training and education to the ADP staff. This includes, but is not limited to English training programmes, specialised higher diploma and bachelors programmes in different fields as needed by ADP.

Two parties will also collaborate in other mutually beneficial activities as may be agreed upon in future.

According to Colonel Almanhali, Under the directives of Lt. General Shaikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Interior, the Human Resources General Directorate of Abu Dhabi Police issued instructions to its education section to explore and select individuals from the diploma and undergraduate programmes that are available from institutions inside and outside the United Arab Emirates, for the posts of ADP officers. "HCT was among the selected institutions as its programmes satisfy the ADP needs, and we are looking forward to establishing a good and fruitful relationship with HCT," he added.

Dr Tayeb Kamali noted that the agreement is a highly important step forward enabling HCT's programmes to become accessible to a most significant group of people. "The move complies with HCT objective of training nationals on the latest development in technology and tools in order to leverage their technical skills to a competitive level."
