Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police and Commissioner General of the Citizen Services Pillar of Dubai Council Lieutenant-General Abdullah Al Marri said the country\u2019s leadership places the highest priority on meeting the vital needs of senior citizens, both nationals and expatriates. \u201cThe initiative seeks to respond to their urgent requirements in this critical period during which we have an even greater responsibility to take care of this vulnerable segment of society. Serving the community and working constantly to ensure the safety and wellbeing of people are some of Dubai Police\u2019s key duties. We will spare no effort to fulfill these responsibilities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Dubai Police and CDA invited senior citizens and residents to register for the service by visiting the Dubai Police website https:\/\/www.dubaipolice.gov.ae<\/p>\n

An updated database of places of residence of the elderly has been developed to help authorities respond rapidly to urgent requests and emergencies, and provide them with social support and care.<\/p>\n

His Excellency Ahmad Julfar, Director General of the Community Development Authority in Dubai, said the service is part of integrated efforts being made under government directives to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and protect the most vulnerable segments. In alignment with measures taken by the UAE\u2019s leadership, he called on all members of the community to be commit themselves to protecting themselves and their loved ones against the risks of infection.<\/p>\n

Colonel Turki Abdel Rahman bin Faris, Director of the Command and Control Centre at the General Department of Operations in Dubai Police, stressed on the importance of registering for the \u2018Secure Together\u2019 service to help facilitate a rapid response to urgent requests for assistance from senior citizens. He noted that the registration will help teams respond faster and reach the registered places of residence using an interactive map that will have accurate pre-defined locations.\u00a0 Ambulance and healthcare service are part of the emergency services that will be provided in cooperation with relevant authorities and preventive service providers.<\/p>\n

Awatif Al Suwaidi, Chairperson of the Happiness and Positivity Council at Dubai Police, said the initiative has been rolled out in cooperation with CDA. Senior citizens and residents of different nationalities or those responsible for their care can contact the CDA call centre on 800 2121 around the clock. Their calls will be transferred to the command and control centre of Dubai Police to complete their registration process. The service will help them take care of their requirements for medical care, sterilisers and health equipment during the current critical period, in cooperation with concerned agencies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
