“We are not going to replace our police officers with this tool”, said Brig Khalid Al Razooqi, General Manager of Smart Services at Dubai Police. “But with the increase in the number of people in Dubai, We want to relocate police officers to work in the right areas and focus on providing a safe city.
“Most people visit police stations or customer service, but with this tool we can reach the public the 24 hours of the day, the 7 Days of the week. It can protect people from crime because it transmits what's happening immediately to our command and control center”.
