Sayings of Deputy Chief of Police and General Security
Not by aspirations but by dedication, Dubai Police HQ has won the Gold Category Award.
Quality can only be achieved from the top and no one can apply Total Quality unless the higher management is sponsoring this aspect. Quality from the higher management can only be initiated from a conviction of its importance.
We should create knowledge, create culture out of this knowledge, and create practice out of this culture.
