In addition to standard home security measures such as securing doors and installing CCTV cameras, Dubai Police has introduced a new feature in its mobile app. This feature allows residents to protect their homes even when they are away for extended periods. By utilizing the services of a highly-rated police officer, Dubai citizens can now ensure the safety of their homes while they are away.
Numerous Dubai residents are using the Dubai Police Service to safeguard their homes.
This free preventive security service ensures the protection of homes while residents are away on vacation, travelling within or outside the country, or even while residing inside the premises. The service facilitates villa residents utilizing neighbourhood patrols to monitor their homes.

Next, provide details of your home location and travel time in the app. If you are in a hurry, you can even complete the registration process at the airport before leaving the country.
