Sharjah - Sharjah Police seek to cooperate with all segments of society by encouraging them to report negative activities

Crimes rate in Sharjah has been reduced by 7.24 per cent during the first quarter of this year in which 261 crimes of various type have been recorded at various police stations in the emirate.
Col. Khalifa Kalander, director of the Comprehensive Police Stations Department, said that the Ministry of Interior attributed the drop in crimes to efforts exerted by Sharjah Police in taking preventive measures and spreading awareness on respect for the law, as well as strengthening cooperation between police and members of society.
He pointed out that Sharjah Police seek to cooperate with all segments of society by encouraging them to report negative activities in the emirate to make the society free of crime.
He urged the public to communicate with the Sharjah Police, including the Njaid service on toll free number 800151, or via SMS 7999 or call the central operations on 999, in cases of emergency and serious incidents, and No. 901 in non-emergency cases.
