According to the U.S.-based Gallup Foundation, the UAE ranked first in the world in terms of “residents’ levels of security when walking alone in the country’s streets.”

Ninety-five percent of UAE residents said they feel safe walking alone in the streets, while Norway ranked second with 93% and China third with 91%.

“Among the standards the foundation relied on were how safe people were walking alone at night in the area where they lived, their trust in the local police, and whether someone had been robbed or assaulted in the past 12 months.”

In the Global Law and Order Index, the United Arab Emirates ranked second globally, with Norway ranked first with 94 out of 100 points.

China, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates shared second place with 93 points, while Finland, Iceland and Tajikistan came in third with 92 points.

The index monitors the levels of public order and law throughout the world, as well as the levels of security of the population in each country.

The UAE has maintained its lead in the Middle East and North Africa for the third year in a row, reflecting the government’s efforts to establish security in all its areas.

The security and safety system in the United Arab Emirates is the foundation of prosperity and stability. International indicators and statistics show that the United Arab Emirates ranks first in terms of the decline in crime rates worldwide.

These centers confirm the wise leadership’s directives to exert more efforts and enact many legislations and initiatives that establish a secure and stable society in a country that has worked and continues to make security and safety a means to achieve comprehensive and sustainable development, in line with the goals of Emirates Vision 2021, which seeks to make the UAE the first global security and safety country and the safest place in the world.
