He added that customers can now sign in to Dubai Police app using face recognition. Antoher update also includes a dashboard, which contains personal information and e-cards, in addition to statistics showing the percentage of services usage and traffic violations recorded on the traffic file.
Crash detection
Maj Gen Al Razooqi added the app also has accident detection and users can send out a distress signal (SOS) in case of a severe traffic accident without human intervention. It also includes a new feature that notifies users of temporary street closures and major traffic accidents.
