An AI-powered, 24/7 self-service police station in a huge Middle Eastern country is all set to revolutionise maritime security with 24/7 automated services. Dubai Police is working towards launching the world’s first floating police station that will work without human intervention.

       The Smart Police Station (SPS) is expected to be operational by 2026 and is part of a broader AED 2 billion (￡439 million) investment into Dubai Police's smart infrastructure？

       The station will offer 27 core services and 33 additional services across six languages, including filing criminal and traffic reports, retrieving lost items, and processing certificates and permits.

       The initiative was announced by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

       According to the officials, the SPS will cater to yacht and boat owners, tourists, and water sports enthusiasts, ensuring easy access to police services while at sea.
