Dubai: The Crime Prevention Department at Dubai Police's General Department of Criminal Investigation has urged homeowners to deal exclusively with licensed and accredited agencies and companies when hiring temporary domestic workers or hourly staff. The department affirmed that this is essential for protecting homes and properties while enhancing community safety.

As part of its ongoing awareness campaign, Dubai Police stressed the importance of verifying the identity of any worker before allowing them to start work, and not permitting unknown or unauthorised individuals to enter homes.

The Force also advised residents not to leave cash, jewellery, or other valuables in visible places while temporary workers are present in the home. “Important documents and valuable items should be kept in secure places to reduce the risk of theft or loss,” they added.

At the same time, Dubai Police emphasised the need to supervise children and elderly family members, and not to leave them alone with untrusted individuals, in order to ensure their safety and the safety of all family members.

The Force stressed the importance of immediately reporting any suspicious actions or behaviour by temporary domestic workers or hourly staff.

They also noted that home security is a shared responsibility, and that awareness and caution play a significant role in preventing crime and protecting property.

Dubai Police called on community members to submit reports through the Dubai Police smart app via the "Police Eye" service, or by calling 901 for non‑emergency cases, wishing everyone continued safety.
