Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - Friday, October 17th 2014 [ME NewsWire]

The Abu Dhabi Police GHQ recently participated in the 5th International Disaster and Risk Conference (IDRC), which took place in Switzerland.

These remarks were made by Major General Al Raisi, as he met in his office with Major Abdullah Ali Al Saghiri, Planning and Follow-up Branch Manager at the UAE Search and Rescue Team Section; who led the UAE delegation to the conference. Major Al Saghiri presented Major General with a booklet that includes an overview of the conference’s major themes and highlights the nature of Abu Dhabi Police’s participation in the various activities.
