Dubai's Deputy Chief of Police and Public Security, Lt. General Dhahi Khalfan Tamim, is leading relentless efforts to eradicate the menace of drugs and the criminals who profit from their illegitimate trade. Under the guidance of the UAE's wise leadership, the country is steadily working towards its goal of becoming the safest nation in the world, with its remarkable progress in international competitiveness indicators serving as a testament to its commitment.

In commemoration of the International Day for Combating Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, Khalfan emphasized the ongoing journey to cleanse society from the grip of drug dealers and criminal gangs. He highlighted the remarkable achievements in curbing the spread of drugs and safeguarding Emirati society, citing statistics from the Ministry of Interior that reflect high arrest rates of traffickers and the subsequent decline in drug users.

"We operate within an integrated framework, backed by the unwavering support of Lt. General HH Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior. Through continuous collaboration with federal and local authorities responsible for drug control and prevention, we serve as a formidable barrier against anyone seeking to jeopardize the UAE's security and stability,"  stated Lt General Khalfan. He attributed the nation's well-established safety, backed by the wisdom of its leadership and the capabilities of the competent authorities, as crucial elements in combating all forms of crime.

Khalfan further emphasized that, alongside these resolute national efforts, the UAE extends a hand of cooperation, coordination, and support to all nations, international organizations, and bodies. This collaborative approach aims to enhance social security and rid the world of this transnational scourge. The UAE's notable commitment to international cooperation plays a pivotal role in bolstering the anti-drug campaign and dismantling criminal networks across the globe.
