Dubai [UAE], June 29 (ANI/WAM): Dubai Police has officially launched its 2025 summer programme for students today themed "Our Summer is Safety, Happiness, Innovation, and Leadership." This year, the programme welcomes 1,332 students from 35 countries, aged 11 to 18.
The General Department of Anti-Narcotics' International Hemaya Centre is organising the programme in partnership with the Ministry of Education, the Knowledge and Human Development Authority in Dubai (KHDA), various external entities, and several police stations and general departments.
Major General Eid Mohammad bin Thani Harib, Director of the General Department of Anti-Narcotics, underscored the Dubai Police's commitment to supporting and organizing summer programs and activities for students at the end of the academic year.
He noted that the goal is to maximise students' time, foster a strong sense of national identity, promote respect for laws and regulations, instill values of loyalty, and cultivate a generation of informed youth aware of significant issues and risks.
