Abu Dhabi: It was a February morning when Colonel Mohammed Al Khoury, Deputy of the Capital Police Department, received a call that would define the next six months of his life. The words were simple and direct: “Come to the crisis management centre. We have a mission.”
The voice at the other end of the phone was that of Major General Maktoum Ali Al Sharifi, Director General of Abu Dhabi Police. The mission: COVID-19.
Despite receiving 23 medals in his career, serving almost five years in the police academy after graduation, for Colonel Al Khoury it was an operation outside the realms of ordinary police work – coordinating Abu Dhabi’s fast-paced response to keeping the public safe from what has become the world’s biggest public health crisis.
