Yet another smart police station in Dubai

-

dubai — Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council, inaugurate­d a Smart Police Station (SPS) in the La Mer area of Dubai on Wednesday.

It is the second SPS in the city following the opening of a branch in City Walk last September, the first-of-its-kind in the the world.

The smart police station is free of human interactio­n and offers 27 key police services, including reporting crimes and traffic incidents, as well as 33 community-related services, in six different languages.

Major-General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-in-Chief of the Dubai Police, briefed the Dubai Crown Prince on the mechanisms used at the station and the smart services it provides to the public.

Some of the services include labour-related complaints, home security, human traffickin­g crimes, supporting victims of violence, and the payment of fines. The stations aim to help members of the public avoid the need to visit traditiona­l police stations. Speaking on the occasion, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed expressed his delight at the remarkable developmen­t achieved by the Dubai Police and its constant efforts to facilitate services to the public and cutting down on waiting time.

Sheikh Hamdan was accompanie­d by Abdulla Al Basti, Secretary-General of the Dubai Executive Council. —
