Sharjah Builds a Highly Educated Security State

The government constantly expands its massive security apparatus. The Ruler of Sharjah just promoted 1,519 military and police personnel. He elevated eight senior officers to the powerful rank of Major General. The promotions cover the police force, civil defense, and the police academy. The state desperately wants a highly educated, highly loyal enforcement class. They amended the entire military rank structure to reward academic qualifications.

Rewarding the Enforcers

Officers with technical bachelor degrees automatically secure the Warrant Officer rank. Diploma holders receive automatic sergeant titles upon entering the force. The government frames this as a brilliant move for institutional efficiency. In reality, they are building a highly sophisticated, deeply entrenched security state. They want smart cops to prevent cybercrimes and suppress potential dissent. The police always win the biggest budget allocations.

Governments invest heavily in domestic control. Track the rise of the surveillance state at The WAU right now.
