His Highness Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, the Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, has made significant revisions to laws governing the military and police ranks in the emirate. These amendments aim to enhance career progression and improve the structure within Sharjah's police, security, and regulatory bodies.
