The centre’s specialised staff efficiently and expertly addressed a variety of inquiries and suggestions from the public.

Colonel Al Muhairi encouraged the public to reserve the emergency number (999) for critical situations, directing them to dial the non-emergency number (901) for information about Dubai Police’s services and other general inquiries.
