Al Hajri added: “The UAE wise leadership has realized early on the enormous scale of security challenges, which extend beyond all boundaries with increased complexity and danger day after day. This requires world countries to endeavor diligently to establish new standards for security education, training, coordination, and search, in a way that would allow those countries to respond to all emergencies and handle potential risks and threats.”
Adding further, he said: “In response to the directives of General HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, the Rabdan Academy has been tasked with establishing a new leading approach that aims to foster integration of education, training capabilities and standards between all institutions via cooperative, joint, and coordinated efforts, in order to reinforce the UAE capacity to protect its security and prosperity.”
The Rabdan Academy is a world class and professional education institution.

Moreover, he said: “The current conflicts and challenges taking place around the world, some of which are still evolving; such as forced migration and asylum; economic challenges; lack of natural resources and rapid technological developments- require the intervention of experienced leaders capable of addressing these challenges, while availing at the same time of the potential opportunities in our rapidly and constantly changing world.”
“Change is the only constant in this day and age. However, the main challenge to leaders is to keep up with the rapid changes. Based on this, Rabdan Academy has undertaken the task to provide future leaders of the UAE with educational and training programs that aim to enhance confidence, capacity, and leadership,” he added.
Additionally, Al Hajri pointed out that change management is one of the main fields of focus at the Academy. Establishing the Academy is a clear indicator to the UAE’s ability and determination to address changes and adapt to the surrounding environment. “Since its inception, four years ago, the Rabdan Academy has grown from a mere concept into a prestigious and modern educational institution, providing internationally and locally accredited programs for the Armed Forces and Ministry of Interior members,” he explained.
“We, at Rabdan, believe in the importance of building cooperative working relationships. To this end, the Academy has been keen to provide a centralized venue to bring together personnel from various institutions under one roof to learn and gain experiences,” Al Hajri stressed. “Providing this model enables students to build long-lasting relations, a key factor in responding to emergency and crisis. Getting well acquainted with personnel working for other institutions and their work methods during crises, builds trust and enables quick and effective response. The Academy also promotes principles of sustained education and adopts best international standards in its work.”
He also explained that the current and future programs and courses offered by the Rabdan Academy prove that the Academy has the necessary capacities and tools to graduate future leaders. “We, at Rabdan, strive to support all aspects of the National Security Agenda, which makes us a unique strategic option as we are fully committed to enhancing national readiness now and in the future, by building capabilities for coordinated, standardized, integrated and efficient response to all incidents,” he noted.
He also noted that providing career training and education under one roof creates great opportunities for partnerships building, ultimately reinforcing local operational capacities. We provide everyone with the opportunity to review this unique education and training system.
He stressed that the UAE is currently at the forefront of countries in the region in the field of public safety, security, defense, readiness for emergencies, and crisis management. This conference provides us with the opportunity to reinforce this role by leveraging your expertise, and by sharing real scenarios, which will contribute to designing an advanced training content and to qualifying students to handle similar cases.
He mentioned that this conference aims to address the emerging and changing challenges, share expertise, and facilitate the optimum use of technologies and modern trends in security and policing. It also serves to build partnerships, which can boost the efficiency of personnel in the security and law enforcement fields. We are striving to work together to set a mutual vision for the future.
