The week-long program involved 15 employees from the Council and focuses on ensuring proper application of the law, as outlined in a recent federal decree aimed at regulating media between local and federal authorities. It also addresses the growing number of media professionals using both traditional and digital platforms, aiming to foster an informed community that understands its media responsibilities.
Throughout the program, participants learned about the legal rules that govern judicial police in the UAE, including how judicial police officers can carry out their duties. They also received practical training on writing investigative reports, how investigations are conducted, and what is required when giving testimony in court. Discussions included common mistakes that can occur in practice and how to navigate them effectively within legal guidelines.
Judge Dr Mohammed Obaid Al Kaabi noted that this program represents a strong partnership between judicial and media organizations. He emphasized the importance of training that meets current needs, equipping staff with the knowledge and skills to perform their jobs professionally. This, he said, is crucial for supporting justice and sustainable development in Sharjah.
