Lt.-General Shaikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior, has received the award for Best Applications in Solving Problems Project, submitted to the US-based International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and won by the management community police at Abu Dhabi Police (ADP).

Todd A. Miller, Chief of Police for the City of Mankato, Minnesota, presented the award to Shaikh Saif in the presence of Lt. Colonel Mubarak bin Muhairom, Head of the Community Police Department at ADP.

Shaikh Saif listened to a brief explanation from Colonel Mubarak about the award, who noted that the UAE had beaten 50 other participating countries in the category of Making Schools More Secure.
