The Sharjah Police services take centre stage in maintaining law and order in this beautiful emirate. From overseeing traffic to managing public safety, the Sharjah Police Force plays a pivotal role in offering a peaceful environment for everyone. Let’s learn more about the Sharjah Police Stations and their services.
Overview and History of Sharjah Police
Established in 1967 by H.H. Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, Sharjah Police began as a local security force. In its early years, it operated under the direction of the Sharjah Ruler and the supervision of General Security Chief Col. Abdullah Juma Al Saree, with training support provided by Mr. Burner from the Oman British Coast.
With the formation of the UAE in 1971, the Sharjah Police came under the newly established Ministry of Interior, consolidating all security forces in Sharjah under the federal government. In 1995, the force underwent a significant upgrade approved by the cabinet. This transformed Sharjah Police into a general directorate, introducing nine specialised departments.
Today, the General Directorate of Sharjah Police comprises various departments and units, including the East Region Police Directorate, which covers areas such as Khor Fakkan, Kalba and Diba Al Hisn.
