This is part of our efforts to support the directives of the wise leadership who put the quality of life of citizens, residents, and visitors at the top of its priorities, and the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to make Dubai the smartest, happiest, and safest city in the world. In line with the strategic partnership between DEWA and Dubai Police, we are pleased to support the Home Security programme and promote it among our customers and employees and encouraging them to sign up for this pioneering programme, which has been a great success since its launch. It has contributed to enhancing the sense of safety and security among citizen and resident homeowners when they are absent or travel for long periods using the latest innovative and smart programmes and technologies, which characterize Dubai,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA.
