Abu Dhabi: President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan issued a Federal Decree promoting 210 officers at the Ministry of Interior to higher ranks, effective from September 2008.
Federal Decree No 63 (year 2008) stipulated promotion of eight officers from the rank of Colonel to Brigadier, 40 officers from the rank of Lieutenant Colonel to Colonel, and 135 officers from the rank of Major to Lieutenant Colonel.
Lieutenant General Shaikh Saif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Interior, decorated the promoted officers at a special ceremony held at the ministry on Tuesday.
The ceremony was attended by Chief of Staff of the UAE Armed Forces Lieutenant General Hamad Mohammad Thani Al Rumaithi, Undersecretary of the Interior Ministry, Lieutenant General Saif Abdullah Al Sha'afar, Deputy Commander General of the Abu Dhabi Police, Major General Obaid Bin Al Hairi Al Katbi, Director at the Office of the Interior Minister, Major General Nasser Al Nuaimi and other senior officers.
The minister congratulated the promoted officers and encouraged them to keep up the good work and fulfill the hope and the vision of the country and its leadership.
To achieve excellence is hard, and to preserve it, is even harder, the minister reminded them.
He also told them that the promotion is not connected to the years a person has served in the police force, or the seniority, but is more connected to the excellence, integrity and sincere ambition to improve and sacrifice.
