Dubai Police number

6 officially published service numbers, each with its source and the date we last read it.

What is the Dubai Police number?

In an emergency, call 999. For anything that is not urgent, such as general questions or community support, Dubai Police uses 901. Both are answered 24 hours a day. For an ambulance dial 998, and for Civil Defence 997. The Al Ameen service is reached on 800 4444 from within the UAE.

Caller ID can be faked. Scammers deliberately display bank and government numbers. A call showing this number is not proof that the company called you. Hang up and dial the number yourself.

999 or 901?

Dubai Police reserves 999 for emergencies only, when you need immediate police assistance. Its call center, 901, handles non-urgent inquiries, general information and community support. Calling 901 with a routine question keeps 999 free for people who need it.

901 is not only Dubai

Sharjah Police lists 901 as its call center too, so the number is not unique to Dubai.

Other numbers Dubai Police lists

Next to 999 and 901, the Dubai Police contact page names 998 for an ambulance and 997 for Civil Defence. The UAE government portal adds the Al Ameen service on 800 4444 and the Control Center of Human Trafficking on 04 608 2347.

If you cannot speak on the phone

Dubai Police runs a Sign Language Service for people who are deaf, hard of hearing or have speech difficulties. You find it on the contact page of dubaipolice.gov.ae. Written inquiries go to mail@dubaipolice.gov.ae.

Calls claiming to be the police

Scammers also pretend to be police officers. Treat a caller who threatens arrest unless you pay, or who asks for bank details, as a fraud attempt. Hang up and call 901 yourself to check.
