Group has been established to help to prevent drowning accidents, respond to SOS calls, improve the monitoring of Oman's coastline and prevent illegal immigration and smuggling. A command headquarters called The Oil and Gas Installations Command has been set up under the ROP to protect Oman's valuable oil and gas installations. Fleet The Police Coastguard Command has been equipped with new fast patrol boats, while the older boats currently in use have been modernized and fitted with new engines. An engineering and maintenance workshop makes sure the patrol craft are always serviceable. The Royal Omani Police has engaged in major procurement programs since the mid 2010 mostly from Spanish, British and French suppliers. Police Aviation Directorate The Police Aviation Directorate comprises AgustaWestland AW139 helicopters (currently 4 in service and more are being procured). It comprises a helicopter fire-fighting service for use in areas that are relatively inaccessible to ordinary fire engines as Oman has a vastly mountainous terrain. The Sultanate was one of the first countries in the region to set up this service and several pilots have now been trained to man it. The Police Aviation Directorate is to use its helicopter fleet for use in the Flying Ambulance service, for fire-fighting and rescue missions, or to provide monitoring and support services for the ROP's other departments using thermal imaging systems. Women in the ROP Oman has always strived to provide equal status to its female population unlike its neighbouring countries. The ROP has been no different, with a significant number of female cadres who serve in logistical, support wings as well as in the Traffic police. The ROP also has an all female music band. Female cadres undergo as strict or training as their male counterparts, yet Omani women have come out in numbers to join the police force. Additional functions The ROP provides a range of services. Civil affairs The Directorate-General of Civil Status registers the births, marriages, divorces and deaths of Omani nationals, as well as the births and deaths of expatriate residents in the Sultanate, in addition to their marriages and divorces if one of the parties to the marriage or divorce is an Omani. Omani nationals are also issued with smart multipurpose ID cards, which are both flexible and secure and – among other things – show the holder's driving licence details. Such smart cards have become a norm in almost all Arab nations.
