Col Eng Nasser bin Muslim al Ruzaiqi, Director-General of Information Technology, said, “The department works to support ROP activities, including development of software for services offered by the police. The e-services will ensure quality performance and expenditure rationalisation by diversifying the use of various technical means.”
