The Dubai Police are all set to honour the mothers of fresh police academy graduates for "raising their sons as tough and formidable personalities" to serve the nation.
The police have designed and distributed exclusive invitations for parents, especially mothers, to witness their sons' graduation ceremony on January 9. Usually, the invitation envelopes are delivered to parents through students.
The police have designed an invitation box containing a trophy bearing the name and photo of the student along with a medal for the mother and an invitation card. Another noteworthy thing about the box is the 'thank you' message engraved on it from Major General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-in-Chief of the Dubai Police, to the mothers. The message reads: "Thank you for your contribution in making men of the future and brave hearts who will make the nation proud."
"This special gesture sets forth the intention of the police to honour every mother for their endurance during their son's training period," said the police in a Press statement.
Director of the Dubai Police Academy Brigadier Dr Ghaith Ghanem Al Suwaidi said: "The year 2018 is momentous, as for the first time a team of female police squad has been designated to distributing the invitations by personally visiting every student's house. Additionally, a delegation has been sent to hand over the invitation boxes to the parents of students residing outside the country. "Our team even flew to Singapore to invite the ailing mother of a student admitted at the hospital there."
The graduates securing the top positions in the academy will be rewarded with a two-night stay at Jumeirah Hotel in Dubai.
