“We chose to remind people about this service now, because it’s almost summer time and many people travel and leave their homes empty, leaving them an easy target for thieves.”

Jamal Al Jallaf, Deputy Director of Dubai Police’s Criminal Investigation

Even though they’re willing to offer this handy  service – there are some things they recommend you do as extra precautions. 

1. You must be a resident of the UAE who lives in a home or villa.
2. You must secure all entrances and windows of your home.
3. You must secure wardrobes and safes which contain personal items.
4. Deposit all money and valuables in a bank.
5. Not leave keys to your vehicles in a key holder (I mean thats the first place a thief would look for them!)
6. Inform a friend or relative to occasionally check your household while you are away.
7. Turn off all water taps and electricity switches.
8. Submit the details of your residence at a police station nearby, and the rest will be on them
