Sharjah authorities have reported a 22% decrease in crime rates during the first half of 2025, compared to the same timeframe last year.
This decline is a “positive sign of the success of the emirate’s security system in achieving its goals and fostering a sense of safety and assurance among citizens and residents,” stated Brigadier Ibrahim Al Ajil, Director General of the General Department of Comprehensive Police Stations in Sharjah.
The reduction in crime reports is attributed to the continuous efforts of security personnel, who work tirelessly, the implementation of advanced checkpoints, ground patrols, and comprehensive field deployment strategies, according to authorities.
