In Photos: Dubai’s Prince Hamdan Launches “Smart Police Station” at La Mer

When he’s not rescuing animals, the Crown Prince of Dubai is busy launching new initiatives. On October 3, His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Makroum inaugurated a Smart Police Station (SPS) at La Mer, WAM News Agency reported.

Remarkably, the new station at La Mer is the second Smart Police Station to be established in the emirate. The first one was opened at City Walk last month — the first of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and even in the entire world!

HH Sheikh Hamdan Inaugurates La Mer Smart Police Station

During the event, the Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police, Major General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, told HH Sheikh Hamdan about the mechanisms and services provided by the Smart Police Station. What exactly makes the Smart Police Station — “smart”? Just to give you an idea, here are some of its state-of-the-art features:

  • Free from human interaction
  • Provides 27 smart key services in 6 languages
  • Includes 33 community-related services

Smart Police Station (SPS) Services
In addition, here are some of the services offered at the new Smart Police Station:

  • Home security
  • Payment of fines
  • Labour-related complaints
  • Human trafficking crimes
  • Support for victims of violence

By using these services at the Smart Police Station, members of the public do not need to go a traditional police station (although these are available in many places as well).
