AMAL MOHAMMAD AL-SHIHHI

Abu Dhabi Police Cavalry, Abu Dhabi

First Assistant Amal was the first female to join the Cavalry in the Abu Dhabi police force. She began her career in police work, moving up through several administrative and field police sectors before reaching the office of the Director of the Central Operations Sector.  

She influenced administrative and field development in the Directorate of Drivers and Vehicles Licensing, Operations Management, Emergency and Public Safety, and Crisis and Disaster Management. Her skills, including security negotiation and cases of use of force, as well as support for the families of female victims according to Interpol standards, are attributed to her distinguished record. 

She attended two military courses, and a specialised course to prepare knights in the Abu Dhabi Police. As a result of her achievements and contribution to the police force, Amal has been decorated with several appreciation certificates.
