Major General Abdullah Khalifa Al Merri, Commander-In-Chief of Dubai Police, inaugurate­d the first smart police station in Arabian Ranches with a ‘walk-in system’ yesterday.

“Under directives from His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, VicePresid­ent and Prime Minister of the UAE and ruler of Dubai, to adopt the smart police stations idea in Dubai residentia­l and commercial areas to reach all members of the public to provide best smart services for their happiness. The new station in Arabian Ranches will give services round the clock,” Maj Gen Al Merri said.

Dubai Police are looking to reduce the number of visitors to police centres by 80 per cent and to provide better service to people of determinat­ion, according to Al Merri.

The walk-in station will be open 24 hours, seven days a week. The station offers 25 key services such as reporting crimes and traffic incidents as well as community services ranging from getting a goodconduc­t certificat­e to social support for victims of family violence. The services can be accessed in six different languages without human interventi­on.
