UAE is not isolating itself from the changes going on around it. The UAE has approved developmental plans including a network of internal and external roads to link all parts of the country, for the safety and security of road users. The UAE road networks have become the best of their type in the Region and in the world, in terms of their lighting, design and safety measures.
Dr. Aarif Sultan Al Hamadi, University Director has confirmed the University keenness to provide its students with necessary life skills in addition to scientific and practical studies. Through our awareness of our youth passion for quad bikes and cars we always organized such gatherings in the University to invest in their safety and to boost their knowledge about the risks of driving such vehicles.
In the same context ADP GHQ has organized an exhibition at the University premises and entrance. A number of ADP Departments have participated in the exhibition, including Traffic and patrols, Scene of the Crime Departments, (999) Magazine, Center of Research ands Security Studies, Community Police and Social Support Centers.
The students have expressed their admiration for the scientific and technological progress achieved by ADP. They further strongly attracted to the fastest racing car in the world (f999) and the exciting motor bike the "Falcon", which have been designed specially for ADP.
Student Aydaroos Al Hashimi (Communications Engineering) said "What he has seen today about ADP services, specially the crime scene, has created in him a strong drive to join ADP and to get a PhD Degree in the fields that serve ADP".
