Colonel Pilot Saeed Al Yamahi, Head of the Ras Al Khaimah Police rescue Aviation Department, said that the department enjoys great support and continuous attention by the leadership.

He added that during the rainy season, the department provides its services 24/7 to monitor the people who go to the mountainous areas and valleys despite the constant police warnings.
