The new Al Sadd police station was opened to the public on Thursday by Ministry of Interior’s Supply and Logistics Department director Brigadier Abdulaziz al-Ansari.
The new police station is located on a 2,180sqm plot of land. The total cost of the construction was around QR20mn.
The new station seeks to implement MoI’s decentralisation policy to facilitate processing citizens’ and residents’ requests with ease and speed.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by a number of senior security officers including Brigadier Nasser Jabor al-Naimi, director general of the Capital Security Department; Colonel Mohamed Thani al-Midayhiki, director of engineering and maintenance department, and Colonel Khaled al-Bakr, director of Al Sadd police station and other security officers as well as a number of guests from the local community.
Al-Ansari said the strategy of MoI was to make security services easily accessible to the public and ease the processing of such services by multiplying the number of security centres around the country.
He said the ministry was undertaking various projects to replace old security buildings with modern and sophisticated multi-purpose facilities.
Al-Naimi said the new building was reflected MoI’s strategy to decentralise the services offered.
There is also a project to build services complexes at Al-Wakrah and Al-Thumamah, and the West Bay police station.
The new buildings are planned to incorporate the most sophisticated technologies and equipment with trained staff to offer quality and timely services.
The new Al Sadd police station is an example of MoI strategy to have security buildings that preserve Qatari traditions and at the same time keep up with the latest global standards.
Al-Ansari also said that the next stage would witness the inauguration of more new buildings including the headquarters of the Drug Prevention Department, Information Systems Department and Criminal Evidence and Information Department.
The people of Al Sadd area expressed relief and gratitude and said the new building would help save their time and efforts in processing their request.
