He also highlighted the extent of Dubai Police’s keenness to enhance community partnership and enhance a sense of responsibility among the emirate’s residents.
Colonel Al Qaydi pointed out that many motorists experience reckless driving on the roads. It is important to report these cases as they can cost people’s lives.

‘We Are All Police’
Dubai police launched the ‘We Are All Police’ programme to encourage residents to work as citizen police. There are several ways the general public can report negative road behaviour.
Dubai residents can take photos of violations and crimes and share them with Dubai police on the Police Eye or Smart Police Station app. They can also log on to a cybercrime website or report cases by calling 901.
