Major General Al Shamsi noted that although they change their methods and patterns of smuggling, most organised gangs have fallen, failed to implement their goals, arrested, and brought to justice.
Major General Al Shamsi added that drugs are not a security issue, but rather a societal one. He confirmed that drugs shouldn’t be only the concern of police or security, but also the community. Concerted efforts and unified goals are two main components aiming at combating drugs.
