01 November 2019
UAE’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior, Lt General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, unveiled the model of the world’s first floating smart police station (SPS), at the recent Gitex 2019 exhibition in Dubai.
The station will be opened in the sea off World Islands next year and will provide sea users and World Island residents key services, including the reporting of crimes, traffic incidents and community services, said a Wam news agency report.
Major General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, commander-in-chief of Dubai Police, who attended the ceremony along with key police officers, affirmed the keenness of the Dubai Police to advance the development of the smart police station, which, he said, has proved to be a global success in providing services without human intervention.
Josef Kleindienst, founder and chairman of the Kleindienst Group, said the project is being implemented in cooperation with the group, which is the developer of ‘Heart of Europe’ in Dubai.
“We were the first company in the world to develop a classic and unique idea of living on floating villas above and under the water. We are pleased with our cooperation with police to build the first floating SPS,” he added.
Meanwhile, Brigadier Khalif Al Razooqi, director of the Artificial Intelligence Department of Dubai Police, said that the floating station is the fourth SPS station in Dubai after City Walk, following other drive-thru and walk-in versions located around the emirate.
“The modern floating station will operate 24 hours, seven days a week and offer 27 key services, including reporting of crimes, traffic incidents and community services. It will also provide 33 fully automated sub-services in six different languages. Our aim to provide services as part of police strategy to provide smart services in Dubai,” Al Razooqi added.
