Two traffic officers recognised for humanitarian response and community service.
Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi Police have honoured two traffic officers for their humanitarian response after they helped a member of the public safely cross the road, recognising their actions as an example of the force’s commitment to serving the community beyond its traditional law enforcement duties.
Major General Ahmed Saif bin Zaitoon Al Muhairi, Commander-in-Chief of Abu Dhabi Police, presented the commendation to First Corporal Khalid Abdulaziz Al Kaabi and First Corporal Hamad Ali Al Shamsi, both from the Traffic and Patrols Directorate.
He said the recognition reflects the force’s efforts to foster a culture of compassion, promote positive behaviour and honour officers who demonstrate a strong commitment to social responsibility.
Al Muhairi said such initiatives reflect the humanitarian values championed by the UAE’s leadership while strengthening public trust in the police.
He added that policing goes beyond maintaining security and enforcing the law, extending to providing assistance and support whenever members of the community need it.
The two officers expressed their pride at receiving the honour, saying that helping others is an integral part of their policing duties and motivates them to continue serving the community with dedication.
They said the recognition reflects Abu Dhabi Police’s vision of delivering proactive, people-centred policing that improves quality of life and strengthens community safety.
The ceremony was attended by Brigadier Nasser Suleiman Al Maskari, Director of the Central Operations Sector, and Brigadier Saif Hamad Al Zaabi, Acting Director of the Directorate of Traffic and Security Patrols.
