The UAE’s General Authority for Regulating the Telecommunications Sector (TRA) recently organised a staff security awareness lecture in cooperation with the Al Ameen Service.

The Al Ameen Service was officially launched in September 2003. Using this service, the people ?of Dubai can communicate confidentially with the authorities to keep abreast of development ?in Dubai and on issues that concern them.

The lecture entitled ‘We Are All Partners in Our Nation's Security’ was aimed to strengthen the strategic partnership and spread security and national awareness among segments of society, said a statement from TRA.

The lecture included a number of  important themes and topics in order to explain the importance of involving citizens and residents in the process of maintaining the security and stability of society, encouraging individual initiative to deliver information that would protect the community from any harm, raising public awareness of the importance of information without underestimating any security information, and promoting a sense of collective responsibility for providing a safe future environment for our children, it said.

Security awareness is a preventive approach countries should develop in the interest of security and stability.

Security is a goal that concerns the community; it relates to all aspects of life and is not limited to an organisation or group over another or to individuals over others, but is the responsibility of the entire nation. Therefore, informed plans should be made to achieve security, so as to maintain a safe and stable life for the community.

The lecture is organised to support the national awareness efforts in cooperation with partners in order to achieve all entities’ objectives and to safeguard members of society by raising security and national awareness that promotes loyalty to the UAE.

Lecturer Jamal Ahmed Al Awbud, head of performance development of Al Ameen Service, touched on how to develop security awareness by being in the workplace and having leisure time, as well as the security risks surrounding the region and targeting the nation.

The workshop also included some alerts during abuse cases to the UAE and its symbols, how to dispel rumours and preserve national unity, it stated. – TradeArabia News Service
