BEIRUT: Lebanon has agreed to take advantage of law-enforcement expertise from the Gulf emirate of Dubai.

Last week, the head of the Internal Security Forces, Maj. Gen. Ashraf Rifi, was on a visit to Dubai, where on one stop he got the opportunity to tour Dubai police’s operation room, considered one of the most advanced in the world.

During his visit in the Gulf emirate, Rifi was briefed on traffic police operations as well as ways to handle emergencies on the streets, according to a statement by the ISF Friday.

Dubai and Lebanon agreed to send an ISF delegation to Dubai to learn measures adopted by Dubai police and that in turn, a delegation of Dubai police would visit Lebanon to pass on their expertise.

From zero to hero?

They are going to take lessons from these guys? What do they want to learn: how to race to the doughnut or coffee shop? Last week, I saw a Dubai cop in a Nissan Patrol smoking a cigarette with his left hand out the window while talking on his mobile with his right hand. He was steering with his knee while speeding on Emirates Road at 155 KPH. I tried to take his picture, but it turned out blurred. That would have been "priceless"!
