The Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA) was established in 2016 by a decree from HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai.
SIRA seeks to provide Dubai with the highest levels of safety and security as part of its role as the governing authority for the private security sector in Dubai, oversseing the licensing of security cadre, companies and systems.
