Abu Dhabi Judicial Department Unveils New Patrol Identity For Correctional Centers

The Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD) introduced a new look for the patrols at correctional and rehabilitation centers, aligning with their plans and strategies to improve how the centers operate in the coming phase.

The goal of this change was to stay up-to-date with evolving needs and to meet the highest international standards. The new patrol identity was officially launched during a ceremony at the ADJD's main headquarters in Abu Dhabi, WAM reported.

The event was attended by Under-Secretary of the Judicial Department Counsellor Youssef Saeed Al-Abri along with other top officials and department heads.

Al-Abri emphasized that the new, modern design of the Correctional and Rehabilitation Centers patrols was part of ongoing efforts to improve various sectors of the Judicial Department.

This was aligned with the vision of President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and the directives of Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, vice president, deputy prime minister, and chairman of the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department.

They aim to keep improving and modernizing services to boost Abu Dhabi's global competitiveness. He also highlighted that the Judicial Department focuses on improving the Correctional and Rehabilitation Centers Sector.

This development helps achieve the goal of adopting systems and programs that keep up with new methods, ensuring the security and safety of inmates and the staff while following the best international practices.

Al-Abri noted that the Correctional and Rehabilitation Centers are committed to carrying out their operations and responsibilities at the highest standards for inmates' care, rehabilitation, and reform. This is supported by the government's efforts to enhance the services provided to inmates, helping them to rehabilitate and reintegrate into society.

Earlier this year, Dubai Police and Dubai Sports Council (DSC) launched the region's first football league for inmates to enhance physical exercise inside penal institutions and detention centers.

The league, known as the General Football League for Inmates, enables the inmates of penal and correctional institutions to compete with each other under 14 teams according to the six-six league system.

Assistant Secretary-General of the DSC Nasser Aman Al Rahma stated that the initiative brings better "health, vitality, and happiness of community members, as well as its contribution to rapprochement and acquaintance between the various components of society."
