Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Presidential Affairs and Chairman of Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD), has issued decisions granting "judicial officer capacity" to 91 officials from seven government departments in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

The departments include the Departments of Health, Economic Development, Energy, Culture and Tourism, Municipalities and Transport, and the Abu Dhabi Pension Fund, thereby empowering them to start performing the duties of ascertaining offences and violations that fall under their jurisdiction, following the legislation in force.

The said inspectors were sworn in as judicial officers before Counsellor Ali Mohammed Alblooshi, Attorney-General of Abu Dhabi, at the headquarters of the Judicial Department.

After the swearing-in, the Attorney-General delivered a speech to the judicial officers, in which he stressed the importance of complying with the proper application of legal systems when performing their duties.

Alblooshi said the announcement will contribute to the development of institutional performance and improve the quality of the services provided in various sectors in Abu Dhabi, thus strengthening the Emirate's position at the global level.

The Attorney-General emphasised the ADJD's commitment to qualify and train candidates to obtain the judicial officer capacity through specialised training programmes delivered by the Abu Dhabi Judicial Academy (ADJA).

The training will prepare inspectors, who are knowledgeable in all aspects of judicial and administrative control, to ensure the proper application of the law, enshrine the principles and foundations of control and audit in the service sectors, and an emphasis on practical training based on the files and procedures of the Public Prosecution and criminal courts.
