Traffic, security patrols

Traffic and security patrols have been intensified, particularly around mosques and markets, to help combat negative and uncivilised phenomena.

Police stations across the emirates are ready to address public inquiries and provide necessary services 24/7.

Additionally, the General Command, through its Department of Information and Public Relations, Awareness and Media Campaigns Branch, has launched a campaign to combat begging and provide assistance to those in need, in collaboration with relevant departments and community police branches.

This initiative aligns with the Ministry of Interior’s efforts to reduce the phenomenon of begging and reflects the commitment of Ras Al Khaimah Police to curtail negative phenomena during Ramadan.
