Are you planning a vacation abroad? You might be concerned about leaving your home unattended if you are.
If you don’t have somebody to check in on your house while you’re away on vacation, Dubai Police offers a home security service to villa owners. Residents of villas can sign up for the ‘home security’ service, which allows patrol cars to keep an eye on their homes while patrolling the neighborhood.
You can sign up for the service via the Dubai Police mobile app or their official website, www.dubaipolice.gov.ae. The service is provided without charge.
