K .. the majority of the police force are undercover CID agents rather than uniformed policemen. Thats the model Dubai uses to police the city probably to keep its reputation as a safe city. However, i do like Abu Dhabi's model where they seperate the police into three forces .. traffic, rescue and crime investigation.
