The Ministry of Interior (MoI) held a workshop seeking to develop the Airport Security Department officers’ skills on Wednesday.
Themed ‘Control and Enforcement’, the workshop was held in coordination between the MoI’s Legal Procedures Monitoring and Evaluation Committee, the Supreme Judicial Council, the Public Prosecution, and the Police Officers Institute at the Police Academy.
The two-day workshop teaches a practical training curriculum developed specifically for Airport Security Department officers, which includes a legal procedures manual.
In attendance were Director of Airport Security Department Staff Colonel Khamis Mohammed Al Muraikhi, Director of the Office of the Minister of State for Interior Affairs and Chairman of the Legal Procedures Monitoring and Evaluation Committee Colonel Dr Abdulaziz Ahmed Al Ibrahim, and Director of the Police Officers Institute Colonel Nayef Mohammed Al Mannai, as well as several judges and public prosecutors.
Staff Colonel Muraikhi thanked all those who contributed to organising the workshop and called for further cooperation to achieve the desired goals and develop performance, which reflects the MoI’s leadership and excellence in providing security services that meet ambitions and hopes according to the highest standards.
Colonel Dr Ibrahim said the event is one of a cluster of workshops to be presented over the coming months to security departments, whose work nature requires direct interaction with the public.
He pointed out that the Legal Procedures Monitoring and Evaluation Committee seeks to achieve outcomes that reflect an honourable and civilised image of the MoI, through concerted efforts and cooperation with the Public Prosecution and the Supreme Judicial Council.
This constructive cooperation has resulted in the preparation of distinctive and advanced scientific content due to the extensive experience of the participating parties, he added.
Colonel Mannai hailed the importance of the deliberations during the workshop as a qualitative shift and a real addition to enhancing the Airport Security Department members’ legal competence, which is reflected in their professional level.
He added that the Police Officers Institute always seeks to cooperate with various institutions in Qatar and beyond to provide the MoI officers with required knowledge and skills.
The workshop was an opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences, and to determine the legal foundations that support work in the field of airport security, he added.
Judge Abdullah Abdul Karim Al Qahtani, representing the Supreme Judiciary Council, emphasised the importance of law enforcement agencies staying updated on legal texts and judicial principles relevant to their work.
He noted the significance of this workshop as the judiciary’s first participation at this level, reflecting its commitment to sharing expertise with all targeted participants to achieve the desired goal.
Judge Dr Ali Abdullah Al Jussaiman, also from the Supreme Judiciary Council, stated that practical participation emerged as one of the core objectives behind the establishment of the Legal Procedures Monitoring and Evaluation Committee, an initiative led by the Ministry of Interior in effective collaboration with the Supreme Judiciary Council and the Public Prosecution. Hamed Marai Al-Qahtani, senior chief prosecutor and representative of the Public Prosecution on the Legal Procedures Monitoring and Evaluation Committee, praised the workshop on enforcement and implementation, which brings together key law enforcement entities to promote justice.
Professor Dr Fahd Hamad Boushahab, senior chief prosecutor and representative of the Public Prosecution on the committee, said the workshop demonstrated the ministry’s commitment to proper legal procedures.
