LIEUTENANT COLONEL DR. HAMAD AL NUAIMI joined the Abu Dhabi Police in 2002 out of the desire to help others, especially those in dire circumstances. Early in his career, he quickly recognized that as a profession, law enforcement’s responsibility in protecting the community would be strongly influenced by technology and that he could be part of framing this progress. This realization, in part, led him to pursue and achieve a PhD in project management.

Lt. Col. Dr. Al Nuaimi currently leads more than 10 formal Abu Dhabi Police teams that include the Event Committee, Telecom Innovation Team, and ICT Budget-Saving Team. As a result of the leadership qualities displayed in these roles, he was bestowed an Excellence Award by the Abu Dhabi Police general manager. In addition, he was granted the International Critical Communication Award in 2020 for his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lt. Col. Dr. Al Nuaimi was exclusively responsible for the creation of the Mobile Telecom Vehicle, which is a critical communication hub that enables police communications to remote sites. He was also integral in the application of the TETRA radio network and LTE network to the Abu Dhabi Police public safety mission.

Furthermore, Lt. Col. Dr. Al Nuaimi and his team of 45 employees were instrumental in developing the Abu Dhabi Police wireless communication policy, which involved the implementation of 4G LTE technology. His excellent technical skills, vision, and passion, combined with strong leadership qualities, makes him a focal point for all telecommunication concerns and projects.

“As a police officer, I am given considerable responsibility toward society. Fulfilling this responsibility provides me with great motivation.”
