The Interior Minister has expressed gratitude to His Majesty King Hamad, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, for the security and stability the kingdom enjoys, attributing these blessings to His Majesty’s leadership.
This leadership has played a pivotal role in consolidating the foundations of the state and strengthening Bahrain’s national defence and security capabilities.
It has enabled the kingdom to enhance its position and effectively manage emergency situations with professionalism and competence, thereby safeguarding the nation and preserving stability, he noted.
Interior Minister and Royal Police Academy Board of Trustees chairman General Shaikh Rashid bin Abdulla Al Khalifa made the remarks as he attended the graduation ceremony of the 14th batch of university officer cadets, who completed the academic and police qualification requirements.
General Shaikh Rashid also commended the comprehensive measures undertaken by the government, led by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, and its advanced and integrated approach to addressing the challenges of the current stage by strengthening national readiness and fostering co-ordination among government entities and national institutions to confront emerging developments with a high level of preparedness.
The minister noted that the nature of security operations had changed considerably, leading to a significant increase in operational demands.
Addressing the graduates, he said: “Bahrain is in good hands, and we look forward to your joining your fellow security personnel in the noble service they provide, which is reflected in the security of the nation.”
General Shaikh Rashid added that the graduation of 114 officers from the 14th batch of the Higher Diploma in Law and Police Sciences and the Diploma in Criminal and Police Sciences programmes reflects the Royal Police Academy’s continued role in preparing qualified personnel in accordance with the latest international standards in academic curricula and police training.
The minister praised the academy’s pioneering role in training, curriculum development and adapting educational and training programmes to evolving security challenges, in a manner that meets security requirements and enhances capabilities across all fields of police work.
General Shaikh Rashid honoured the top-performing cadets and presented certificates to all graduates, congratulating them on their achievement and encouraging them to continue serving the kingdom with dedication and commitment.
Royal Police Academy Commandant Major General Fawaz Al Hassan said that the graduates had successfully fulfilled all graduation requirements and would serve as a valuable addition to Bahrain’s police service, carrying the noble mission of protecting the homeland and preserving its security and stability.
He highlighted the rapid geopolitical and security developments facing the world today, which require police institutions to be more prepared, flexible and forward-looking.
He affirmed that the academy is committed to preparing officers equipped with knowledge, professional skills, discipline and decision-making capabilities through the latest academic methodologies and best policing practices.
Maj Gen Al Hassan also noted that the academy is integrating advanced technological applications and artificial intelligence into its education and training system, recognising their central role in enhancing security work, improving efficiency and accelerating response capabilities.
