Moreover, the council’s resolution details the introduction of new directorates that will be incorporated into the general structure of the Sharjah Police, specifically:
- Traffic and Patrol Directorate, which will include the Traffic Department and the Patrol Department.
- Drug Prevention and Combat Directorate, comprising the Prevention and Follow-Up Department and the Drug Combat Department.
- Criminal Investigations Directorate, which encompasses the Criminal Investigations and Follow-Up Department along with the Criminal Investigations Department.
New Licensing Committee for Social Workers
In addition to the restructuring of the police department, the council announced the formation of a committee dedicated to licensing social workers in Sharjah. This committee will be chaired by Ms. Khulood Ahmed Al Nuaimi, with several esteemed members, including Dr. Jasim Muhammad Khalfani Al Hammadi as the vice-chair. The committee’s establishment underscores the council’s commitment to regulating and supporting the social work profession in the emirate.
With these developments, the executive council aims not only to streamline police operations but also to foster a more robust framework for public service and community safety, demonstrating a proactive approach to addressing the evolving needs of the emirate’s residents.
