The NCCHT team, led by His Excellency Dr. Anwar Gargash, Minister of State for FNC Affairs and Head of the UAE NCCHT, visited the headquarters of the Abu Dhabi Police Force - Capital Department, to convey the appreciation of the police force and to discuss further measures to eradicate human trafficking.
The visit was part of a series of measures to enhance interaction between the various stakeholders involved in fighting human trafficking. The NCCHT team had earlier visited the Dubai Women and Child Institution.
The delegation was received by Brigadier Mohammad Awad Al Menhali, Acting Director of Operations - Abu Dhabi Police and Colonel Ahmad Mohammad Bin Nekhreh, Deputy Director General of H.H Minister of Interior Office and Hamad Ajlan Al AAmimi, Director of Capital Police Department along with several Abu Dhabi Police officers. Lieutenant Colonel Salem Shaheen Al Nuaimy, Deputy Director of Centers Affairs at the Capital Police presented cases tackled by the force along with other details related to Abu Dhabi Police's initiatives to combat human trafficking.
HE Dr. Gargash said the visit highlighted the role of law enforcement and the executive arms in fighting human trafficking, and also the importance of enhancing police and public awareness on the matter.
He said: "NCCHT and law enforcement complement each other's action in the efforts to curb human trafficking. The committee supports preventive legislations and delegates more power to the police force in charge. The sensitiveness shown by the police officers in dealing with trafficking victims is laudable."
Dr. Gargash added: "The prompt engagement and effective practices undertaken by the Abu Dhabi Police has contributed to achieving significant progress in addressing the issue of human trafficking."
Brigadier Al Menhali conveyed that initiatives by the Abu Dhabi Police in curbing the crime are a priority. "High standards of morality and professionalism are imparted on the police force through specialized intensive training programmes, which further help in meeting our goals," he said.
