Monarch visits PSD, CDD
AMMAN (Petra) — His Majesty King Abdullah on
Tuesday urged senior police officers to enhance a “relationship of mutual
respect between ordinary citizens and policemen within the context of the rule
of law.”
The King's remarks were made during a visit to the Public Security Department (PSD)
yesterday, during which he was acquainted with progress in the Command and
Control Centre under implementation by the PSD.
The Monarch issued directives to accelerate work on the new system, which would
serve as a communications link between the headquarters in police departments
and police patrols and other units in the field.
King Abdullah described the project as “vital,” because it would enable the
police departments to deal more professionally with incidents that occur and
take on-the-spot decisions in security situations.
The system would also enable police to respond more swiftly to emergency calls.
Also yesterday, the King called on the Civil Defence Department (CDD), where he
extended thanks to the teams for their remarkable record in saving lives.
