Dubai Police’s e-crime platform drew over 1.42 million visitors. The portal reached this milestone during its first year of operation, marking a significant step in community protection. The high traffic volume reflects a growing public interest in cybersecurity awareness and online fraud prevention as residents seek to identify threats like phishing scams and deepfakes.
The E-Crimes and Cybersecurity Department at the General Department of Criminal Investigation recorded 1,429,154 visits since the launch on 12 July 2025. This engagement underscores the value of the bilingual initiative, which supports efforts to enhance public awareness and strengthen community resilience against cybercrime. Authorities view awareness as the first line of defence against online crime, essential for preventing fraudsters from exploiting individuals and organisations as digital technologies and artificial intelligence continue to expand.
