Dubai: Al Ameen Service of the State Security Department in Dubai has signed an agreement with Dubai International Academic City and Dubai Knowledge Park to hold a series of activities to increase awareness among students about their part in securing society.

Omar Al Felasi, General Supervisor of Al Ameen Service, said the activities aim to focus on university students by explaining the important role of students in ensuring the country’s security.

“The university students are the cornerstone of the future as they are about to move to the job market and start their lives. We will organise awareness lectures to educate them about their important role in securing the society,” he added.

The activities will boost the students’ security sense to contribute to protect society from any suspicious behaviours. “The MoU [Memorandum of Understanding] is in line with the service’s role to increase the security awareness for youth to enhance Dubai’s position as one of the safest cities,” said Al Felasi.
