Emirates Group Security and the Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA), a governmental agency regulating the Security Industry in the Emirate of Dubai recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to work closely on joint security training and education, information sharing and exchange of best practices across different aspects of security.
The MoU was signed by Dr Abdulla Al Hashimi, Divisional Senior Vice President Emirates Group Security and Chief Executive Officer Transguard Group and Major General Khalifa Ibrahim Al Saleis, CEO, SIRA.
The signing ceremony was attended by the senior management of SIRA, Emirates Group Security and the Centre of Aviation and Security Studies (CASS).
“Investing in human capital training and education is essential to equip the workforce and advance our abilities to rise to the occasion to meet new challenges,” remarked Dr. Al Hashimi.
“Working alongside Emirates Group Security allows SIRA to build its capabilities, professional accreditations and standards, as well as advance constructive dialogue, especially in the realm of security education and learning and development,” commented Major General Al Saleis.
The cooperation will kick off with Emirates Group Security’s X-ray training program, which will be reviewed and extended to organizations in Dubai and then rolled out to other emirates.
