What should I do if I don’t speak English when calling 999?

If the police in the area do not speak English, they can use translation software, contact emergency services personnel, or go to the police station.

1. Use translation software: Download translation software on your mobile phone, translate the content you want to express into Arabic or English, and then send it to the police via phone call or text message.

2. Find emergency service personnel: In Dubai, the police usually provide English-speaking emergency service personnel to help people who do not speak English.

3. Go to the police station: If you don’t know how to call the police or are unable to communicate with the police, you can go to the local police station, explain your emergency situation to the police officers, and ask for help.
