No robberies were reported in Dubai gold and jewellery stores during 2019, Dubai Police has revealed.

Brigadier Jamal Salem Al-Jallaf, director of the General Department of Criminal Investigation at Dubai Police, attributed this achievement to Dubai police efforts and their smart devices innovated to guard the stores since 2018. “During the last year, we have set a time-limit for 321 business licenses to implement the new security conditions in a step to achieve 0% on the robbery crime index,” Al-Jallaf added.

Brig. Al-Jallaf said that Dubai Police pays excellent attention to Gold Souq and jewellery stores considering the significant role they play in the economy and tourism markets in the emirate. Accordingly, they are keen to establish strict security measures that ensure the application of safety procedures per international standards and the latest technologies supported by artificial intelligence systems.
