RAK Police launch first all-women special force

ras al khaimah — The Ras Al Khaimah Police launched the first women Special Forces Squad on Sunday, as part of their effort to enhance safety and security in the northern emirate.

Major General Ali Abdullah bin Alwan Al Nuaimi, Commander-in-Chief of the RAK Police, said the new force will be assigned for armed raids. “All members of the new squad were trained at the hands of experts over the last two months on all the techniques of raids and attacks, apart from using guns and other weapons.”

The new team is all set to start operations, he added. “The new team will be supporting the men’s Special Forces team, and are scientifically and practically qualified to assume any task.”

The RAK police have also introduced a new operation room at the Special Forces department to more efficiently and swiftly respond to all reports, and reduce the time needed to reach the reported scene, Maj-Gen Al Nuaimi explained. “All members of the new squad have been enlightened about the nature of their work and how it is important to be focused and well aware of their tasks individually and as a team.” He announced the Special Forces department will have a new building soon to cope with the latest developments.

“All weapons need to be safely transferred to avoid any hassle, and members need to go on continuous training to far exceed expectations, and professionally handle all hotspots and emergency cases in the emirate.”
