The ceremony will be attended by ministers, delegations from other countries, officers from Qatari Armed Force and security agencies, department directors and military and civil officers.
Brig. Dr Muhammad Abdullah Al Mohanna Al Marri, Director-General of the college, said a dream had been fulfilled we could make the academic entity real which would bring out qualified military cadres from Qataris and other GCC countries to serve and secure the nation.
He said the academic method was designed based on advanced systems as the college had finalised cooperation agreements with UK Policing, Manchester Metropolitan University and Greater Manchester Police. Academic activities of the college started with the admission of the first batch of students — 115 Qatari and 23 from other GCC and Arab countries — last year.
Maj. Dr Jabr Hamoud Al Noaimi, Director, Administrative and Economic Affairs of the college, said the college had started classes last August 2014 after it was founded by the Emiri Decree No. 161 for 2013.
