Al Mazeina said that two new stations will be constructed in Al Khawaneej and Al Aweer and the remaining four will be replacements, which includes Bur Dubai police station.
He added that some of the projects would finish in 9 months and others in one and half year.
He noted that the police stations will have multiple sections, including detentions cells for women and men, administrative offices, warehouses, and offices for the rescue team at the centres.
