The UAE’s citizens, residents, and visitors can all contribute to maintaining society’s safety by using online tools that let them report crimes without revealing their identities.
In the UAE, you can contact the police and prosecutors at any time to report suspicious activities, harassment, extortion, or online fraud. Here is everything you need to know.
1. Abu Dhabi – Aman service
2009 saw the debut of the Aman service by the Abu Dhabi Police. Throughout the entire year, the service is available around the clock, allowing users to submit information about traffic, safety issues, or community worries. All of them aid in the prevention and detection of crime. The service provides a confidentiality guarantee for the information provider’s identity and also aids in boosting safety and security in the UAE by increasing security awareness.
Aman service contact details:
- Contact Number: 800 2626
- International Contact Number: 009718002626
- SMS: 2828
- Mobile App: ADPolice, available for Apple and Android devices
- Website: http://www.adpolice.gov.ae/en/aman
- Email: aman@adpolice.gov.ae
There is an Arabic, English, and Urdu call center.
The phone center is solely used to receive information or intelligence, not to file police reports, according to Abu Dhabi police.
The distinction between supplying security information and submitting a criminal report is made clear on Aman’s official website.
According to the Aman service website, persons must notify the appropriate authorities (police or prosecution) about the incidence of a crime before making a police report. It is a process that is handled administratively and involves filing a case.
It’s also crucial to remember that reporting crises shouldn’t be done through the service. Whenever there is an emergency, dial 999.
2. Dubai – Al Ameen service
The Al Ameen service provided by the Dubai Police guarantees the caller’s privacy and safeguards the identity.
Citizens, residents, and visitors can all use the service, which is open around the clock.
Al Ameen works with the general public to stop crimes from happening in the first place or to keep tabs on them as they take place, according to the organization’s official website, alameen.gov.ae. The suspects must also be located and detained as soon as possible.

4. UAE Public Prosecution – ‘My Safe Society’ app
The Federal Public Prosecution of the UAE released the “My Safe Society” app in 2018 for Apple and Android devices to report crimes.
People can upload images, videos, or voice recordings to the app, report any criminal activity, and give the Public Prosecution information about any suspicious behavior or actions.
In the app, sharing the sender’s identity is optional, and if you do, it will remain private.
