Then, the fresh cadets took the oath to uphold the law and protect the homeland and its people.
"The attempts which aim to shake the stability of this country are pushed by foreign parties through various apparatuses, countries, and organisations which rely in its criminal plans on hiring corrupt elements in the country, but we stand ready for them to see Egypt forever above terrorism," Tawfik said.

He greeted President Sisi for attending today's ceremony, noting that the new cadets have all the capabilities and skills that enable them to protect Egypt's homeland and its people, and to back their wise leadership.
He added that the academy has adopted joint training which brought together the students of both police and military academies, given the state's mounting security needs as well as the ongoing anti-terror efforts.
"The academy celebrates the graduation of 1,200 police cadets, including 21 Palestinian graduates," the head of the academy noted.
