The Emirati Police Support Team is assisting the French Police in securing the Paris 2024 Olympics, the biggest sporting event.

 

They underwent extensive training ahead of their deployment to Paris to assist French Police in securing stadiums, access roads and gathering sites of teams and large crowds expected to attend the event.

 

UAE’s participation in securing the Olympic Games shows its commitment to ensure security, safety, and stability of global communities. It also marks a strategic pillar in UAE’s vision to advancing international peace and security, said a statement.   

 

The Emirati Police Support Team also consists of experienced female officers from the Ministry of Interior and qualified and trained specialists representing various police sectors, including police dog units (K9) which inspected the designated areas based on intensive training and thorough mapping of the areas. Specialised teams carried out foot patrols across various parts of Paris, as part of their assigned duties and security support teams, said by UAE Police.

 

Their participation will help to consolidate UAE’s good reputation and its leading role in joint international cooperation and action. It will also reflects its deep distinguished relations between UAE and France, it added. 

 

The deployment will also allow UAE police forces to exchange expertise and best practices with their international counterparts, and further boost their capabilities in various fields.
