On 15 September, a ceremony took place in Ma’ale Adumim Central Park to honor the graduates of two civil guard training courses. The 21 graduates join approximately 90 others as civil guard volunteers to promote the safety and security of Ma’ale Adumim residents. According to Police Superintendent Uri Yoran, commander of the M.A. police station, “Each volunteer who takes upon himself the responsibility for improving his own and the community’s quality of life by way of connecting between “the giver” (the volunteer) and “the receiver” (the person receiving his help) in the right way makes us a better quality community.”
