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.


Dubai has Rescue (read and white vehicles, and those yellow ambulances). The uniform cops seem mostly for traffic duty and handling out tickets, other than the odd case of theft. And the CID is busy catching dirty Bluetooth messages in shopping malls (according to Gulf News), among other less important tasks.
