Dubai is considered to be a safe haven for tourists. However if you are in a spot of bother, Dubai Police has created a special cell dedicated to the protection of tourists in the emirate.

The Dubai Police’s Tourist Security Department (TSD) was set up on August 5, 2007 with the idea of protecting foreign tourists from any unforeseen trouble and promoting a sense of well-being and security.

A toll-free hotline has been set up for the purpose. And tourists can now contact the new division of police 24/7 at 800-4438

The TSD workers will provide maximum support and assistance to the tourists taking into consideration that each minute of their carefree holiday is precious. August, 5th2007 became the first working day of TSD.

Dubai Police also has a confidential reporting Al Ameen in place that helps visitors and residents solve security issues. The department receives all kinds of security, social, economic, financial and traffic problems, complaints and suggestions at the toll-free number 800-4888.

Members of the community can also communicate by sending in a fax at 04-2097777 or by sending an e-mail on alameen@eim.ae or by sending an SMS on 4444 or access the website www.alameen.ae
