“They can send the request on their phone, and it will reach the police station, and CID and the house will be placed under monitoring by police patrols for a specific period,” said Colonel Khalid Nasser Al Razouqi, General Director of Smart Services at Dubai Police

Safe & Secured Traveling for Tourists

The coolest thing about the Dubai Police app is that it isn’t limited to UAE residents. Expats can use the app to launch complaints or locate the nearest police station to file a serious complaint.

Report Lost Items

No more embarrassing, “I’ve lost my phone again” and “No, I don’t remember the color of the taxi roof or the taxi number.” Whenever you lose your item, submit a report in the app. The Lost and Found department at Dubai Police will take care of the rest. Upon recovering your belongings, you’ll be notified.

Bounced cheques

The app allows customers to send photos of bounced cheques to the Dubai police and register their complaints without stepping foot in a station.

According to Dubai police customer service: “The reporting of the cheque is dependent on two conditions; one it should be issued from inside Dubai and two, its validity date of being cashed should not be expired.”

Report double-parked vehicles

Dubai Police has added a new service to its app to help solve this problem and crackdown on offending drivers. Through the “vehicle obstruction” service in the traffic section of the app, boxed-in drivers can report the car blocking their exit.

All you have to do is input the plate number, category, and code with an image of the blocking vehicle. Police then notify the owner of the illegally parked vehicle via SMS.

The SMS asks them to immediately move their car, as well as warning them against a repeat offense.
