Dubai Police and Majid Al Futtaim, one of the leading shopping mall, communities, retail and leisure pioneers across the Middle East, Africa and Asia, have signed a MoU agreement to deliver and promote a safe and impactful city experience for residents making Dubai the smartest and happiest city globally
Under this agreement, a smart police station will be developed at the company’s flagship new Dubai Community, Tilal Al Ghaf, as part of its innovative smart districts plan.
Muhammad Saeed Al Marri, assistant commandant for community happiness and equipment in Dubai Police, said, “Smart police stations are part of our vision to support happiness in Dubai, improving access to police services for members of the public. It will provide members of the public with 24-hour access to police services in a neighbourhood setting, where the construction of a conventional police station would not be possible.”
“The smart police stations will offer innovative, high-quality services including 27 criminal, traffic and community services as well as 33 allied services that will operate without any human intervention,” Al Marri added.
Hawazen Esber, CEO of Communities at Majid Al Futtaim - properties, commented, “The smart police station is in line with the community’s innovative 360-degree plan to promote happiness and public safety by using smart technology. Offering services locally, close to people’s homes, also reduces the need to travel, which will support sustainability within the community.”
Dubai Police opened the first smart police station in 2017, in line with its smart plan to provide completely virtual access for the public to police services by 2030.
Tilal Al Ghaf is Majid Al Futtaim’s new flagship mixed-use community in Dubai that will be home to more than 20,000 residents once complete. The community spans over three million sq m at the intersection of Hessa Street and Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street.
