Dubai's Smart Police Stations (SPS) recorded a 13 per cent increase in the number of transactions in 2023, compared to the previous year.

The SPSs handled a total of 121,986 transactions in 2023, compared to 107,719 smart transactions in 2022.

According to the stats, the users benefited from 46 services provided by the smart police stations 24|7, in areas such as permit requests, criminal matters and traffic concerns.

It reflects the Dubai Police's achievement in providing the community with convenient and streamlined services, a senior police officer said.

The stations are supported by smart and interactive technologies that enable customers to complete transactions smoothly without having to wait in queues or visit the traditional police stations.

The SPS allow officers, who speak seven different languages, to serve customers through video calls for 27 essential services, such as reporting crimes and traffic incidents, and another 33 community-based services.
