The Dubai Police have been making sure that their 24/7 services are available to communities even on the outskirts of the city — and latest figures reveal they have been successful.

As many as 3,488 transactions were completed without human intervention at the 'Suburban Police Points' in the emirate's Al Ayas, Hatta, and Al Lesaily areas, the authority said on Saturday. These included lodging 615 reports and 210 criminal-related enquiries.

The Suburban Police Points were established as part of initiatives to establish new communication channels for residents who are living in communities that are far from the centre of Dubai.

“Specialised security patrols are deployed to reinforce safety and security, respond to emergencies, and ensure community happiness,” Maj Al Kaabi said.
