Dubai: Dubai Police have coordinated with Al Barjeel Group to initiate a programme where they will send alerts to its group of public networks via BlackBerry emails and SMSes.
They hope this awareness campaign will create understanding about community services offered by the police.

The department has partnered with the Al Barjeel Group, which specialises in releasing news and information to the public through mobile alert services and networks. The Group will include Dubai Police social activities among its list of alerts to share with the public.
The 3,000 BlackBerry users who use the Group's services, as well as other users, will have access to police alerts through SMS and email, he said.
