Dubai
police
was
set
up
during
the
late
1960's.
A
modern
police
establishment
became
essential
as
a
result
of
the
societal
development
that
followed
the
discovery
of
oil.
Making
a
society
aware
of
its
moral
responsibilities
is
a
sure
way
to
curb
crime
and
undesirable
behaviour
in
the
individual.
The
General
Directorate
of
Moral
Guidance
was
established
in
this
regard.
The
importance
of
religious
awareness
is
obvious.
Dubai
police
has
therefore
established
the
General
Directorate
of
Moral
Guidance.
This
Department
includes
several
sections
including
religious
affairs,
which
handles
the
contact
between
the
headquarters
and
the
public
to
strengthen
links
and
ensure
continuity
of
cooperation.
Dubai
Police
has
paid
a
lot
of
attention
to
Public
Relations.
Police
officials
have
realised
the
importance
of
the
role
played
by
public
relations
on
the
interior
and
exterior
levels.
Since
its
inception
in
the
mid
of
1970,
the
section
has
played
a
big
role
in
deeping
the
good
relations,
respect
and
confidence
among
police
staff
themselves,
on
the
one
hand,
and
between
police
and
the
public
in
general,
on
the
other
hand.
The
most
important
objectives
of
the
Dubai
Police's
Public
Relations
Department
has
been
to
win
the
confidence
of
the
people
and
enahancing
the
level
of
awareness
in
the
police
work,
and
this
done
through
providing
all
necessary
care
to
members
of
the
force.
The
department
is
run
by
a
group
of
national
men
qualified
in
the
media
field
and
a
number
of
Arab
expatriates
who
have
excellent
experience
in
media
and
mass
communications.
With
the
development
that
the
Dubai
Police
have
gone
through
in
the
past
years,
the
Public
Relations
Department
has
become
the
important
link
between
Dubai
Police
and
the
public,
as
well
as
with
other
police
sectors.
