Al Qasimi said that the Dubai Police are committed about community safety. He urged the people to refrain from publishing or circulating any video or photo on social media platforms that may affect the sense of safety and security of people and spark unnecessary fear among residents. "Such actions are prohibited by local laws," he warned.
