Nsi Study - Security Level 3

In October 2001, UAE has called Canadian Experts in the fields of security legislation, security training and Middle East culture to conduct a number of researches about private security industry in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, this occurs simultaneously with establishment of regulatory agency “the Private Security Business department” to manage ,organize training, examine and license in order to enforce and oversight of the private security industry.



Between 2003 and 2006, the Abu Dhabi Model evolved to Federal Law No. 37 of 2006 which was promulgated in January 2009.



As an immediate result of Federal Law No. 37 of 2006, the private security regulatory authority became the Federal Regulatory Authority now known as the Private Security Company Organization Department (PSCOD) responsible for oversight of the private security industry at the national level. This led to the establishment of the National Security Institute (NSI), which was given the responsibility of creating training standards in the UAE for security guards, and which considered as training arm to PSCOD .
