1,031 anti-narcotics personnel promoted: details and names

The Director General of the General Directorate of Narcotics Control, Major General Mohammed bin Saeed Al-Qarni, issued an administrative decision promoting 1,031 personnel across various military ranks and in all branches and departments of the Directorate throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This decision comes as a culmination of the efforts of security personnel and in appreciation of their continuous dedication to protecting the nation.

Leadership support for security sectors

In announcing the promotions, Major General Mohammed Al-Qarni expressed his deepest gratitude and appreciation to His Royal Highness Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Nayef bin Abdulaziz, Minister of Interior, praising the unlimited support provided to the Ministry's personnel across all security sectors. Al-Qarni emphasized that the directives of His Royal Highness the Minister of Interior and his meticulous oversight of all anti-narcotics operations and activities constitute the greatest incentive for achieving successive security accomplishments.

Strengthening the security system and combating drugs

These promotions are particularly significant given the comprehensive security campaign and fierce war being waged by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia against drug traffickers and smugglers. The General Directorate of Narcotics Control is the first line of defense for society against this scourge, and its personnel exert tremendous efforts in monitoring, tracking, and apprehending suspects, resulting in the thwarting of numerous major operations recently.

These promotions come as part of the Ministry of Interior’s strategy to develop human resources, raise the morale of security personnel, and inject new blood into the administrative and field structure, which will positively impact security performance and the quality of field operations.

The impact of promotions on field performance

Promoting over a thousand individuals in a vital sector like counter-narcotics is not merely a routine administrative procedure; it is a message of appreciation from leadership for the efforts exerted in the field. This move is expected to contribute to:

• Increased motivation among individuals to exert more effort and make sacrifices.
• Enhancing the job and psychological stability of security personnel and their families.
• Stimulating positive competition among sector employees to excel in performance.

Congratulations and best wishes

Major General Al-Qarni concluded his statement by congratulating the promoted individuals, asking God Almighty to grant them success in their new duties, and that this promotion be a strong incentive for them to redouble their efforts to serve the religion, then the King and the nation, and to contribute to achieving the aspirations of the wise leadership in preserving the security and stability of society.
