Ammon News - Director of the Public Security Directorate (PSD), Maj. Gen. Hussein Hawatmeh, commended the advanced level that the civil defense cadres have reached, and ambulance, rescue, firefighting and comprehensive humanitarian services they provide to citizens and residents around the clock.

In a visit to the Civil Defense Directorate (CDD), PSD chief said that since the start of the merger of security agencies, the CDD had the priority in the development and rehabilitation processes.

He gave instructions to continue to rehabilitate human cadres, including paramedics and rescuers, and to follow up on updating the fleet of ambulances and rescue vehicles, and providing them with the necessary equipment, to enable their crews to carry out their duties and provide ambulance and rescue services, and to use GPS systems to facilitate the speedy arrival of specialized teams to the site of the event at the maximum speed.
