Khamis Mattar Al Mazina, Head of General Directorate of CID, praised the efforts exerted by the CID Police staff. He said that the Dubai Police earlier launched the housing security service, which monitors the houses of the people who travel outside the country. He said that the people who plan to travel should contact the police stations directly or they can send emails to the police departments from wherever they are. Al Mazina called upon the people to put their precious and valuable items in bank lockers instead of leaving them at home when they travel overseas. |
