The UAE has become the world's fourth best country in terms of reliability of police services in 2010, an international report has said.
According to the Global Enabling Trade 2010, released by the World Economic Forum, the UAE came among the top 20 countries in the Enabling Trade Index, leading the region at a very strong 16th position, ahead of the United Kingdom, Chile, and the United States.

The UAE also achieved another distinct advantage, ranking fourth in physical security.

The report measures levels of violence in each country, including crime rates and threats to security.

Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Lt. General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan described the achievement as an "outcome of the wise policy of the country's leadership and the strategies of the federal government."

"This ranking is a fruit of the unlimited and continuous support by President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and General Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces."

The Enabling Trade Index (ETI) was developed within the context of the World Economic Forum's Industry Partnership Programme for the Logistics and Transport sector and was first published in The Global Enabling Trade Report 2008.

The structure of the Index reflects the main enablers of trade, breaking them into four overall issue areas, captured in the sub-indexes that are in turn grouped into nine pillars, namely; Domestic and foreign market access, Efficiency of customs administration, Efficiency of import-export procedures, Transparency of border administration, Availability and quality of transport infrastructure, Availability and quality of transport services, Availability and use of ICTs, Regulatory environment and Physical security.

I told you, we will be bench marked soon.

No you are NOT, just a bunch of incompetents and amateurs, should I remind you that a team of assassins walked in your country like if it was in a park and killed a wanted terrorist under your nose. The police did not catch them and have no clues as to who they are.
In the mean time the police is good at catching couples who kiss each other, drunks and throw people in jail for missing a car payment.
The dark ages AD forensic police also established that the 14 years brazilian girl who was raped had consensual s3x and was not raped. In any civilized country, it is never consensual, it is statutory rape, no need for forensic.
There are endless examples as to the total incompetence of the UAE police. This propaganda report was bought off.

Hahahaha what a joke - did they pay someone to give them that position?

Also Kid, hate to point out the obvious, but any success the UAE has in that sector is down to foreigners, mainly those from Europe, the USA and Australia, where specialists are brought over to train those in the police and security forces (the majority of which are other nationalities as well). So ocne again, it's an achievement of others, not sadly you.

Kid, you may want to check your sources. Where did you get "4" from. The rank is "6". BTW, that is but one of the many "indicators"/"pilars" that are ranked. For example the UAE is ranked 81 out of 125 in the all important "access to markets" category.

Nevertheless, the UAE is a safe place (personal security).

ahhh the resisting team is back .. so choc we have beaten those who trained us ? thats still a good thing even if true.

Not trained 'you' because locals don't hold any positions in those sectors apart from penpushing high ranks! Even a great number of CID officers are Western because they can infiltrate where you cannot! The police are mostly Yemeni, even your military is mostly made up of other nationalities. The majority of the guys who've come to work as trainers have done tours of Afghanistan, Iraq etc etc and so have been active in combat situations - er what combat scenarios has the UAE ever been involved in - hmmmm let me think about that for a second oooh er NONE!

Yes the UAE is safer than many other countries, but sadly in many other countries they are terribly under resourced. Plus you have to ask is it really safer? Or is it just the fact that the majority of crimes do not get reported?

hey its not me who ranked it, so take with them if you have any of your usual objection " resistance to success ". beside you have to support such efforts not fight it. you are one of the ones being served and protected .and when its not reported then how can they deal with it?

True, but it doesn't give a true representation of the way it works here, and that's simply what I'm doing is merely stating that it's a success built on joint efforts of many many people from across the globe. Plus also you HAVE to take into account that the UAE is not forcoming with actual crime figures - this is well known.

The ludicrous outcomes of those cases were the result of the judicial system, not the fault of the police, who were by and large doing their job properly - namely to respond to complaints that the law had been broken.

As for the assassins, they are usually difficult to catch in most countries if they are good at what they do. I don't think that case reflects badly on the competence of the Dubai Police.

Kid, I agree that Dubai is rather safe place but in my view the things has been changed in worse direction for last 2 years (in crisis time). I used to never heard about such cases like the one with this model or stalking girls and you cannot blame only expats in those.

But as I said before, is it happening more? Or is it the fact that the press report these cases now, whereas before they wouldn't.

Not all cases are interesting for media, except the one with participation of the holder of the "passport with the lion" I think.
