“Dubai Airport Freezone emphasizes security in all aspects of its operations and seek the same for its customers and employees” he added. “The new police Office will further enhance security services to our tenants by providing extra security at the Freezone.”
“We are in the process of deploying a major project to install a CCTV system at the Freezone, before the end of the current year,” Dr Al Zarouni continued.
“The opening of the office formalises our cooperation with Dubai Police which earlier conducted regular patrols at the Freezone to ensure security.”
Brigadier Ahmed bin Thani, in-charge of Dubai Airports Security at Dubai Police, said the Dubai Police is implementing directives of the Dubai Government in providing better security environment for all businesses based in Dubai and all its residents.
