Over 11,300 surveillance cameras help the Sharjah Police ensure security in the Emirate. Of these, 500 are analytical surveillance cameras; 750 detect vehicle licence plates; and 10,054 are early alarm warning ones.
These are part of a project to instal surveillance cameras across Sharjah, state news agency Wam quoted Major-General Saif Al Zari Al Shamsi, Commander-in-Chief of the Sharjah Police, as saying.
The project is now 60 per cent complete in Sharjah City; 20 per cent in the Central Region; and 20 percent in the Eastern Region.
The Sharjah Police Chief highlighted the key plans to boost security in the Emirate:
>> Intensifying the number of patrols and overall security presence to reduce crime rates.
>> Using technology, including artificial intelligence (AI) and drones.
>> E-patrols to monitor crime online.
Three UAE cities - Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah - are among the seven safest cities in the world, according to a survey conducted by data crowd-sourcing website Numbeo.
Sharjah was ranked sixth globally in the list, with a score of 83.5 per cent.
