He emphasized that these results demonstrated Dubai Police’s dedication to achieving the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, in embracing digital transformation. 

Maj Gen. Ghanim commended the positive response from citizens, residents, and visitors in utilizing the services offered by the smart police stations. “This reflects Dubai Police’s achievement of the strategic goal of providing the community with convenient and streamlined services,” he continued.

Maj Gen. Ghanim emphasized that smart police stations are a testament to the remarkable advancement accomplished by Dubai Police, demonstrating their dedication to executing a comprehensive transition towards 24/7 operational smart police stations that provide smart services without human intervention.

It is worth noting that smart police stations (SPS) allow filing a criminal report without face-to-face interaction with employees. Instead, individuals can engage in video calls with multilingual investigative officers. During these virtual meetings, officers discuss all the necessary details and send a report for the individuals to sign.
