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 through the implementation of international best practices in security systems, services and guards.

SIRA protects lives and properties by suggesting new laws and regulations, applying smart systems, training security cadres and inspecting various types of facilities.
