Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi paid a visit to the Police Academy in Abbassiya on Saturday.
Minister of Interior Mahmoud Tawfik and a number of the Police Academy senior officers received the president upon his arrival, Presidency Spokesman Ambassador Bassam Radi said.
The president stressed the importance of applying objective, scientific criteria and complete impartiality in selecting the best elements to join the academy.
“The objective is to prepare a generation capable of maintaining the country’s security and living up to Egyptians’ aspirations,” Ambassador Radi quoted the president as saying.
This, the president added, contributes to achieving more stability and progress, taking into consideration the responsibility of police in protecting state institutions as well as citizens’ property.
President Sisi underscored the need to continue developing the potentials of the academy to ensure that it keeps pace with the latest scientific techniques in security, legal and social fields to polish the skills of the students, the spokesman said.
The president directed the concerned officials to do a comprehensive assessment of the students’ awareness and knowledge of various national security files.
President Sisi said that this will be realized through addressing these national issues in depth within the framework of the academy’s curricula, to prepare efficient cadres with correct understanding and real knowledge of all issues on regional and international arenas.
The president called for enabling them to perform their duty in the best way while abiding by law to ensure the preservation of the nation’s security and stability, Ambassador Radi said.
