If you ever need to contact the police authority in the UAE, there is no need to visit a police station in order to access their services.

The police authorities of the UAE can be contacted via the e-police service of the Ministry of Interior (MOI), which is available on the mobile app of the Ministry, 'MOI UAE.'

Easily file any police report

An e-police service for cell phone users has been unveiled by the Ministry of the Interior, which helps users of its smart application to connect and process police station-related transactions throughout the UAE.

Although there are over 30 services available within the category of police services, according to the Ministry of the Interior, the following services are the most widely used:

- File a financial report (bounced cheques or insufficient funds)

- Reporting an accident

- Theft-related reports

- Reports related to Missing person

- Reports related to Missing Items

'Customers can, via a smart application, access a range of smart services, complete their transactions and send their alerts linked to police stations, wherever they may be, irrespective of their location. This guarantees that high-quality facilities are delivered, saves time and develops police work,' as stated by the Ministry.

The software will identify your location and provide details on the closest police stations if you want to visit a police station nearby.
