Record page: "The first unmanned smart police station is Dubai Police Smart Station, operated by Dubai Police (UAE) and was inaugurated at City Walk, Dubai, UAE on 18 September 2017", open 24/7, "27 key services" plus "a further 33 services offering community services". Carries no publication date - it is a continuously maintained reference page, and the date it shows is the record date, not a publication date. The certification is of primacy, not of performance.

Source for the H1 2023 figures: "a total of 65,942 smart transactions were conveniently and smartly processed without any human intervention. These included lodging 16,205 reports and 4,967 criminal-related inquiries", across "22 smart police stations", in "Arabic, English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, and Chinese". The page shows only "Last updated: July 08, 2023"; the article id in the URL decodes to the same day, so that day is recorded as the publication date. All figures are Dubai Police's own, relayed at a press briefing.

Known limits of this passport
  • Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
  • Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
  • A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
  • The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
