Dubai Police, TECOM to launch three smart police stations
Stations will allow residents to report crimes and utilise other services without human interaction
Dubai Police and TECOM have signed a MoU to establish three automated police stations in key locations across Dubai. The stations will allow residents to use 27 traffic, criminal, and community services, as well as 33 allied services via smart screens.
The MoU was signed by Amina Al Rustamani, group CEO of TECOM Group, and Major General Abdullah Al Marri, commander-in-chief of Dubai Police.
“We are proud of our co-operation with Dubai Police to establish smart police stations in some of Dubai’s vital areas that reflects our shared belief in the importance of safety and security for the happiness of society,” said Al Rustamani.
The stations will be located across Dubai Design District, d3, Dubai International Academic City, DIAC, and in the vicinity of Dubai Media City, Dubai Internet City and Dubai Knowledge Park, and will be similar to one that was opened in Dubai’s City Walk area last month. That station is set up to guide users to private cubicles to report their concerns remotely to police officers via communication screens.
The smart locations aim to help reduce customer visits to stations and government offices by 80% and will eventually be present in all residential and commercial areas.
