ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates - Wednesday, August 7th 2013 [ME NewsWire]
Major General Mohammed bin Al Awadhi Al Menhali, Director General of Police Operations at Abu Dhabi Police, confirmed a significant decrease in the number of cases of theft against banking customers; indicators depict a downward trend over recent months.
He attributed this decline to the continuous support provided by the leadership to root out disturbing criminal activity as well as growing public awareness and the decreasing level of shyness in the community to call the police and report criminal activity. This developing positive attitude towards the police has led to the arrest of perpetrators exposing their misdeeds.
“The Ministry of Interior adopted a comprehensive modernization policy by equipping its police stations with modern buildings and employing women staff to work around-the-clock. Additionally, the ministry provides a modern and comfortable atmosphere for receiving the public and takes the needs of the various community segments including disabled people into account. These efforts have resulted in the changes regarding the typical image of the police in the minds of some people that view police stations as primarily a place for criminals and felons,” noted Major General Al Menhali.
On the same note, Al Menhali emphasized the importance of reporting any suspicious act or attack against any of the citizens as immediate notification of such crimes definitely contributes to the arrest of offenders and the return of stolen items to its rightful owner. Furthermore, he lauded the courage of the young Emirati woman who recently fell victim to an armed robbery near a bank and immediately reported the crime. He also underscored the police's determination to ensure that all the community facilities are secure and safe, in recognition of the unlimited support and trust provided by community members to the policing entities.
Al Menhali warned each and every person thinking of committing a robbery or an attack in an attempt to spoil the joy of Eid, to remain in his hideout until his arrest, as it is only a matter of time.
Major General Al Menhali highlighted that the public interaction with the police communication channels, whether via telephone service to receive information or security awareness messages via the web and other media confirms that the country and the community have entered the modernization era.
