Sheikh Zayed was passionate about this vision.

Following the council's internal rules, these proposals were sent to a committee for further study and consideration.

Bin Amer encouraged Council members to ask questions and share their thoughts about the new laws. Hamad Abdulwahab Al Qawadi, a member of the Council's committee on legislative and legal matters, presented a report on a new law aimed at reorganizing the police and security forces in Sharjah. The Council discussed various aspects of the law, focusing on how it would improve resources for the police while ensuring the best interests of those serving in the military sector. During this discussion, council members shared their thoughts on the proposed changes, and government representatives provided explanations about the law's provisions. After thorough consideration, the Council approved the new law regarding the police and security forces in Sharjah. Al Qawadi then introduced another report related to a law that addresses human resources for military personnel in Sharjah. Again, the Council reviewed the details of this law, emphasizing how it would support military staff effectively. As the discussion continued, council members provided feedback, and government representatives clarified any questions regarding the law's implementation. The Council subsequently approved the updates to the human resources law for military personnel.
