Dubai Police is getting the public involved in its activities by offering prizes worth AED25,000 for their suggestions on dealing with common crime issues like preventing traffic accidents, cyberbullying, drug abuse, and so on.
Authorities launched an online platform in April this year for people to participate in the prizes by uploading their ideas, and were surprised to receive 178 suggestions from the public.
