Rafid app to issue crash reports in Sharjah

Sharjah - The patrols, operation room and apps of Rafid will be launched on May 14 and will immediately begin their services.

Motorists in Sharjah can report minor accidents by availing the Rafid app from May 14, a replacement for Saeed, a top official has revealed.
Major-General Saif Al Zeri Al Shamsi, Commander-in-Chief of the Sharjah Police, said the app will be launched by Rafid in coordination with the Sharjah Police, according to a prior agreement.
The app will facilitate quick response to accidents as motorists who involve in minor accidents can use the app to take pictures of the accidents, send the documents and receive the police report in minutes. "They don't have to wait for the patrol to come to the accident site to investigate and issue the report for the two parties."
Maj-Gen Al Zeri explained that the police contract of five years with Saeed had been expired and decided to sign a new contract with Rafid automotive solutions, affiliated to the Sharjah Assets Management Holding, the investment arm of the Sharjah Government.
"The change will help upgrade services, in terms of investigating and reporting accidents, and also assure quick response to emergencies. We are looking forward to providing the best and distinctive services, based on international standards.
The patrols, operation room and apps of Rafid will be launched on May 14 and will immediately begin their services. The services fees and all other details related to Rafid will be announced on the same day.
