Crime rate in Sharjah has been reduced by 14 per cent during the second quarter of 2016 in comparison with the same period last year, said the Sharjah Police.
According to statistics recently issued by the police, the number of crimes registered during the period came down by 704 this year.
Dr Khalifa Kalander, Deputy Director of Police Stations of Sharjah Police, said that the criminal reports filed in the second quarter of 2016 reached 4,137, compared to 4,841 criminal reports filed in various police stations last year.
He said that the crime rate has been reduced due to intensified efforts including awareness campaigns carried out by the police to ensure safety and security.
He said the police managed to solve large number of financial disputes amicably. Intensified patrolling by Anjad and Isnad services in various areas in the city has also played a great role in reducing crime rate.
The police also have ensured cooperation of the public as part of the strategies of the Ministry of Interior, aimed at curbing crimes in all parts of the country.
