This recognition highlights the leadership and unwavering support of His Highness Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Ruler of Sharjah, who has provided the necessary resources to empower security personnel in their crucial roles.
Acknowledging Team Efforts in a Major Case
This statement came during the Crown Prince’s visit to the Sharjah Police General Command, where he honoured the team involved in the “End of Battle” case. His Highness praised the extensive efforts made by the security forces, which recently culminated in a significant operation involving the collaboration of the Ministry of Interior and other security entities across the emirates.
Celebrating Successful Outcomes
Expressing gratitude, Sheikh Sultan remarked, “After thanking Allah Almighty for His blessings, and the directives of His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah, we see, thank God, the fruitful results within the Sharjah Police General Command and the emirate’s security apparatus. This reflects a positive trajectory in operations, demonstrated by quick responses to reports and the effective resolution of cases, among other services that bolster community safety.”
Long-Term Developments and Future Goals
He noted that the progress observed is a testament to the continuous efforts of past and present leaders and officers. “The achievements we celebrate today are not coincidental; they are the result of years of sustained hard work. Previous leaders and officers contributed to this legacy, and we commend them all,” he added.
Moreover, Sheikh Sultan highlighted the various recreational and social initiatives introduced by the Sharjah Police for its personnel, such as the Officers Club and the Desert Park, emphasising the importance of integrating retirees into these initiatives to strengthen their connection to the community and their former roles.
Honouring Exceptional Service
In a symbolic gesture of recognition, Sheikh Sultan awarded the team who worked on the “End of Battle” case with the Excellent Performance Medal, an accolade bestowed by the Ruler of Sharjah in recognition of their significant contributions and diligence in uncovering the complexities of the case while safeguarding the rights of individuals and institutions.
Significant Arrests and Successful Operations
The Sharjah Police, in cooperation with the Ministry of Interior, successfully dismantled four interlinked international networks in a high-stakes operation dubbed “End of Battle,” which resulted in the arrest of 33 suspects from 12 different nationalities, including key figures within the organisations. These networks were implicated in a range of crimes, including cyber breaches, money laundering, cryptocurrency theft, fraud, extortion, data trafficking, and violent crimes.
Commitment to Security and Community Welfare
Brigadier Abdullah Mubarak bin Amer, Commander-in-Chief of Sharjah Police, reiterated that the accomplishments of the Sharjah Police General Command are a direct outcome of the vision and support of the Ruler of Sharjah, coupled with active follow-up by the Crown Prince and collaboration among relevant authorities. He emphasised that all personnel in the Sharjah Police are committed to implementing the directives of the wise leadership, ensuring the safety and security of the community while providing top-tier services that enhance Sharjah’s status as one of the world’s leading cities.
Strategic Insights and Future Developments
During his visit, the Crown Prince was briefed on strategic indicators achieved by the Sharjah Police, reflecting significant advancements and efforts made by the leadership to secure the emirate’s standing among global cities. Results included a remarkable 99.70% in public safety perception, 100% in emergency response within the stipulated timeframe, and a 90% Emiratisation rate. Additionally, the crime rate decreased by 55% for serious crimes per 100,000 residents compared to the first half of 2025, along with a 21% increase in crime resolution within the same period.
The presentation also outlined future projects by Sharjah Police, which include the “Sharjah: A Safe Emirate” initiative, a new Police Officers Club, a desert park, and an innovation centre.
Advancements in Operations and Community Engagement
The Crown Prince toured the Operations Centre, equipped with multiple operational rooms designed to meet the highest security standards and utilise cutting-edge technology, including artificial intelligence, for rapid response and effective decision-making capabilities.
He learned about the network systems that connect partners and relevant entities, enhancing access to traffic camera feeds across the emirate. He also reviewed the Emergency Call Centre, which operates 24/7, managing critical calls to 999 and coordinating with security cameras situated throughout the emirate for real-time monitoring and response coordination.
Concluding his visit, His Highness viewed the simulation rooms designed for managing reports, significantly aiding in training police personnel to handle various incoming reports with competence. He captured a group photo with senior officers and specialists from the Sharjah Police General Command.
