Qatar’s Ministry of Interior (MoI), represented by the Police Academy, achieved a new Arab milestone by winning first place for the second consecutive year in the Prince Naif Award for Arab Security, in the category of Leading Security Programmes. This reaffirms its leadership in advancing modern security systems at the regional level.
In a statement on Thursday, the Ministry of Interior said that the award came in recognition of the specialised study submitted by the Academy on ‘Virtual Security Operations Centre’, which examined the Centre’s role in implementing virtual security exercises using advanced simulation systems that simulate complex security scenarios and devise unconventional solutions to address them.
The study also highlighted the development of mechanisms for activating joint operations rooms between various stakeholders, enhancing security integration and raising the readiness of the national response system, Qatar News Agency (QNA) reported.
Secretary-General of the Arab Interior Ministers Council Dr. Mohammad bin Ali Kuman presented the certificate of achievement to Vice-President of the Police Academy and Director of the Police College Lieutenant-Colonel Fahd Saeed Al Subaie during a ceremony held at the General Secretariat headquarters in Tunisia.
This achievement reflects the Academy’s vital role in preparing and qualifying security cadres and leaders through innovative training programmes and joint professional exercises that embody the Qatari model of modern security leadership and keep pace with the rapid transformations in the security environment at the regional and international levels.
In another development, the Police Academy, represented by the Police College, celebrated Friday the graduation of the fifth and sixth batches of the ‘Police of Tomorrow’ program, concluding the summer 2025 training programme.
The graduation ceremony for the sixth batch was attended by His Excellency Major-General Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Suwaidi, Assistant Undersecretary of the Ministry of Interior for Technical and Specialised Affairs, while the graduation ceremony for the fifth batch was attended by Major-General Mohammed Jassim Al Sulaiti, Director-General of Public Security.
The event featured distinguished security and skills demonstrations, reflecting the high level of training and discipline acquired by the participants and demonstrating the extent to which the values of loyalty, belonging, and responsibility were instilled within them.
The programme included various training sessions along with educational and awareness lectures.
Parents expressed their great happiness with the remarkable development their children witnessed during the program, emphasising that the Police of Tomorrow program contributed to developing their personalities and enhancing their self-confidence.
