dubai — A council for police stations will be formed to unify efforts of all police centres and develop safety and security procedures, Dubai Police officials said on Wednesday.

Al Marri said the council will play an important role in enhancing communication between police stations and developing security plans to reduce crime. The plan is expected to reduce crime rates and traffic casualties.

The council will also enhance communication between specialised departments and prioritise them accordingly. The board will hold a meeting every month.

Al Marri urged officials to double their efforts to achieve the strategic goals of the Dubai Police and provide services that meet the aspirations of residents.
