Caving Uae
Are police in Uae armed?
I read an American tourists accont of the Uae and she claimed police in Dubai were unarmed.
Was she correct or had she made the common mistake of mistaking civilian community “protection” people in a neighbourhood watch for proper police??
An example of this was when somebody i know claimed police in Denmark are unarmed. Theyre not. But theyd only come across nw patrols and traffic police and therefore understandibly thought danish police were still in the cave timds.
Thankyou jb. Yes but police normally train in firearms everywhere because then they know whether criminals have that knowledge.
Iceland has the most rigorously unarmed force in the world but all officers havre to study guns.
Yes the Police in the UAE are armed. Their armament depends on the force they re serving with. The Elite Emergency force is armed with automatic machine guns. The regular police are armed with pistols. I might add that even their civilian force (or CID as they are referred to there) carry concealed weapons of some sort.
