ADEN, July 21 (Saba)- Amid Yemen's readiness to host the 20th Gulf Football Championship later this year in Aden and Abyan governorates, the security leadership has announced on comprehensive training plan to boost security.

The plan will enable policemen to use the information technology as well as offering their services a better way to visitors and citizens. More than 800 officers and soldiers are being trained how to use computers and get the international computer driving license (ICDL).

The security administration also intends to educate its personnel how to set up the data groups through managing, frequent updating ,using computer programs skillfully and operating the communication system such as calling the emergency number 199 and using the Geographic Informational System ( GIS) as well.

Furthermore, the plan includes training them on all the civil defense tasks along with training air, ground and marine services how to behave with the citizens and the visitors.

The work paper presented by Aden Security Department in the training workshop held under the motto "Development and Security on the Path of Receiving 20th Gulf Football Championship" showed that the crime rate has declined in Aden in comparison with previous years.

Security stability:

Generally speaking, the digits demonstrate that Aden's security is stable and there is no any security risk in comparison to other regions as the reported crimes centered in the random poor areas where there was shortage in security services. Most criminal acts spread among uneducated or unemployed people and vice versa.

Improving qualifications

Through the criminal status, we find that the security has the efficient qualifications to execute their tasks. Aden security is stable and there is no any obstacle against the development despite some individuals' faults which is the human nature.

Constructions' safety service

Security authorities in Aden provide the establishments with security for more than 250 buildings in addition to dignitaries. The targeted establishments are
public offices, hospitals, banks, centrals, post offices, electricity corporation and other facilities. They aim at putting electronic monitor system and join it to the fire alarm net and to installing anti-explosions system.

Information Technology:

Aden security worked with the local authority and the Interior Ministry on updating the security administration and inserting the IT system which would meet the needs of the civilians and the visitors.

This electronic system includes:

* Digital leadership and control center that achieves the integrated control on the different units, administrations and the branches on the same time without interruption and through assigning the suitable workforce and means to implement their tasks.

The security services will spread all around Aden city starting from the ground and marine outlets up to guarding the public utilities and organizing the traffic jam to guarantee the security stability.

The electronic control is capable to store a huge amount of information and getting the wanted information and transmit them quickly. Through this service, trained security forces can control the field units and direct them from a far distance. In addition, they will monitor the public utilities, record information for a long time and presenting free services to the citizen.

* Data base: there is a team who is concerned in gathering information from their sources, classifying, inserting them to their fields and updating them continuously. This includes the following facilities:

Religious: Mosques, cemeteries, churches, temples.
Health: Hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, labs.
Educational: Schools, institutes, universities
Services: travel agencies, Internet café, real state offices
Banking: post offices, banks, money-exchange offices

Difficulties and obstacles:

The work paper that has been discussed at the last workshop shed lights on the difficulties that faced security forces to make Aden an economic and trade capital.
Those difficulties are the consequences of the previous political problems as the real state issues and the elimination of the contradicted laws and revising the rest in addition to other local problems related to the nature of people's way of lifestyle.

There are also difficulties facing judicial authority like the extending periods of proceeding, executing verdicts issued by some judges, neglecting commitments metrology, stealing taxes, forging crimes and other problems related to abiding by laws.

In housing compounds, electricity and health service are not enough. There are no wide places for parking, no basements and no wide areas to construct new ones. Roads are not constructed in good modern manner and are not enough.

These compounds also lack to car maintenance places, security and qualified laborers.

Suggestions and solutions:

The solutions needed to all above mentioned problems lie in realizing security and development.
Concerned bodies should work on implementing all the political decisions on all the previous political issues, police should work independently and be provided with due fund.

They should improve the police information technology, the country outlets should be under the electronic control and provided by anti-explosions and drugs systems.
The owners of the significant projects, institutions, banks and other public and private utilities should be cooperatives and subjected to this system.

The reorganization of the new police station should be approved to be able meet the citizen's security protection.
They should finish the structural plans to quick finish building the high way between the three provinces (Aden, Lahj, Abyan).

Finally, workforce should be trained on how to deal with visitors gently and nicely.
