Major General Jamal Salem Al Jallaf,\nDirector of the General Department of Criminal Investigation, stated that the\nanti-begging campaign has significantly reduced the number of beggars annually,\nthanks to the strict and decisive measures taken against those apprehended. He\nalso explained that during the first five days of the holy month, they arrested\n25 beggars, including 12 males and 13 females.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Al Jallaf added that begging threatens\nthe security and safety of society, properties, and the country’s image. He\nexplained that begging is linked to serious consequences, such as thefts and\nrobberies, and the exploitation of children, the sick, and people of\ndetermination for illegitimate gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Al Jallaf emphasized that official entities,\ncharities, and associations are available for individuals to seek financial\nassistance or obtain meals during the holy month. He reminded the public that\nbegging is illegal and punishable under Federal Law No. 9 of 2018 concerning\ncombating begging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colonel Ali Salem, Director of the\nInfiltration Control Department in the General Department of Criminal\nInvestigation, urged the public not to respond to beggars’ pleas, show pity or\nsympathy for their appearance, and assist the police by reporting any beggars\nimmediately through the call centre (901), or the “Police Eye”\nservice available on the Dubai Police smart app<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colonel Ali Salem also warned the community against falling victim to fraudulent electronic messages from beggars through social media and email. He advised the public to ignore and report such messages through the e-Crime platform www.ecrime.ae <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
