The Police College joined the Association of Police Training Institutions in Asia (APTA) as the first Arab college to join APTA, which is considered a great achievement in its quest for partnership with regional and international police associations.

In a statement, the Police College said that APTA unanimously approved the college’s accession to it, during the sixth virtual meeting held by the association today in the Korean capital Seoul, with the participation of the college’s delegation, headed by the Police College Director-General Brig. Gen. Abdulrahman Majid Al Sulaiti.

Starting his speech, Brig. Gen. Al Sulaiti thanked the APTA members, expressing his happiness for their confidence by approving the College of Police to work together to serve to police in Asian countries and provide what is useful.

He invited the APTA members to attend the graduation ceremony of the fifth batch at the Police College in February 2023.

The accession of the Police College came as a result of coordination between the College and the APTA Secretariat in early August 2022, where the subject of Accession was included in the agenda items of the sixth meeting of the association.

Prior to the voting process for joining the Association, the College provided a detailed presentation about its academic and training programs since its establishment in 2013.

APTA includes 28 members from police colleges and academies from Asian countries, which contributes to the advancement of security work on the continent in all academic scientific aspects and advanced police training.
