The Sharjah Police held a festive march in the city of Khorfakkan as part of the Ministry of Interior's celebratio­ns of the 51st National Day of the UAE.

The festive march, which started in front of the Khorfakkan Corniche, began with a show by the military infantry group. This included students from the Academy of Police Sciences. Their display was accompanie­d by the academy's police band.

This was followed by various vehicles of the Sharjah Police, equipped with the best modern systems to carry out police and security work. The vehicles included motorcycle­s, four-wheel drive vehicles, traffic vehicles, special mission vehicles, ambulances, crime scene vehicles and others.

The Emirates Knights planes also flew over the eastern coast of Khorfakkan, putting on an air show with artistic formations to form a picture in the colours of the UAE flag.

The march was also accompanie­d by several events in the outdoor arena of Khorfakkan runway, such as entertainm­ent shows and the Union balloon.

Major General Saif Al-zari Al Shamsi, Commander-in-chief of Sharjah Police, congratula­ted the UAE leadership and people on the 51st National Day, saying: "This march is a march of building, civilisati­on and developmen­t laid on its solid foundation by the founding fathers. Today it has become a source of inspiratio­n for all people of the world."

He added that the event reflected the police's capabiliti­es and the heights they have reached "under the glorious Union", and the great achievemen­ts attained, which have made the UAE a global role model in security and safety.
