During the summer break, when schools are closed, children might spend more time on digital devices. The Abu Dhabi Police has urged parents to safeguard their children from cybercrime. The department emphasized the need for heightened parental supervision during the summer holidays. As part of the 'Safe Summer' campaign, the General Command of the Abu Dhabi Police highlighted the significance of instructing children on the safe usage of electronic devices and selecting games suitable for their age. With concerns over online bullying and abuse on the rise, the police noted that parents should spend quality time with their children to limit their screen time. Engaging in activities and hobbies together was suggested by the police. The police also cautioned that purchasing online games from fraudulent and untrustworthy sites could lead to unauthorized access to bank accounts, theft of money, and even recurring deductions from the used card. The public was asked to help prevent crimes by contacting the department via the toll-free number 8002626 (AMAN2626), text messages (2828), email at aman@adpolice.gov.ae, or through the Abu Dhabi Police General Command smart app. Aman serves as a security channel that collaborates with the public to ensure community safety.
