The Security Professionalism and Excellence Awards highlighted the role of private security personnel in protecting key assets and public spaces in Dubai. The third edition recognised outstanding performance, supported skills development and drew attention to individuals whose work strengthens trust in the emirate’s safety framework.
H.H. Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Ports and Borders Security Council, honoured the winners during the latest ceremony. The event showcased how structured recognition programmes support higher security standards and encourage long-term careers in the private security field.
The awards ceremony attracted senior figures from several government entities and regulators linked to Dubai’s security ecosystem. Attendees included Awad Hader Al Muhairi, Chairman of the Security Industry Regulatory Agency; Lieutenant General Rashid Thani Al Matrooshi, Director-General of Dubai Civil Defence; and Dr. Abdulla Mohammed Busenad, Director-General of Dubai Customs.
Leaders from operational services also joined the event, underlining cross-agency interest in private security performance. Participants included Mishal Abdulkarim Julfar, CEO of the Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services, and Khalifa Ibrahim Al Saleis, CEO of the Security Industry Regulatory Agency, together with several senior representatives from the wider security sector.
The Security Professionalism and Excellence Awards used several categories to cover different job roles and seniority levels. Each category focused on measurable impact, commitment to duty and contribution to security outcomes. Collectively, the categories reflected the range of functions that support incident prevention, emergency response and safe daily operations across Dubai.
