The Saudi Ministry of Interior (MOI) has achieved remarkable results in its strategic indicators under Saudi Vision 2030’s Quality of Life Program.

The “Level of Trust in Security Services” indicator recorded an impressive 99.77% in 2023, surpassing the 2030 target by 111%. Additionally, the “Premeditated Murder Rate per 100,000 Population” indicator achieved an actual rate of 0.59, exceeding the 2030 target by 119%.

The MOI and its sectors have made significant advancements in their security and humanitarian systems across all levels. (SPA)

According to a statement by the MOI on Monday, these achievements are credited to the consistent support of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister.

The MOI and its sectors have made significant advancements in their security and humanitarian systems across all levels, delivering high-quality services to citizens, residents, and visitors alike. These efforts strengthen societal security and benefit all individuals residing in the Kingdom, contributing to a comprehensive national security renaissance, said the statement.

This progress has been driven by initiatives such as “Pioneering Police Centers,” the “Unified Security Operations Center (911),” the “Unified Crime Classification System,” “Security Equipment,” and the enhancement of the “Aman Platform,” all of which underscore the Kingdom’s enduring commitment to safety and security.
