Speaking at the ceremony, Maaytah stressed the importance of bolstering training facilities to provide an appropriate environment for transferring expertise and offering security and police skills.

The academy’s Inauguration comes within the framework of PSD’s modernization and development process in its various formations and units, which would reflect “positively” on improving efficiency of security operations and upgrading level of services provided to citizens, Maaytah noted.
The next stage, he noted, will witness “great” interest in building human capabilities to ensure professionalism and competence in carrying out policing tasks and duties, according to schemes and strategies that focus on training plans that simulate police needs and specializations.
For her part, Brid expressed pride in the “solid” cooperation relations between the two kingdom’s police apparatuses, especially in the field of training and expertise exchange, stressing her country’s keenness to benefit from and maintain this collaboration to develop and modernize security services provided to the community.
