New State Security Initiative Reinforces Shared Responsibility for Safety and Stability
The UAE State Security Department (SSD) has launched a new public service that enables citizens and residents to confidentially report security-related concerns, reinforcing the message that national security is a shared responsibility.
Launched under the campaign slogan “State Security is Everyone’s Responsibility,” the initiative aims to strengthen early threat detection by combining community awareness with professional security oversight.
What Can Be Reported
The service allows the public to report a wide range of security-related issues, including:
- Extremist or radical activities
- Suspicious behavior or movements
- Threats to national unity or public order
- Espionage or intelligence-related activities
- Information leaks affecting national interests
- Online blackmail, threats, or digital abuse
- Insults or defamation targeting the state or national symbols
Authorities emphasize that early reporting helps prevent risks from escalating into serious incidents.
Confidential and Anonymous Reporting
A core pillar of the initiative is strict confidentiality.
Individuals can submit reports without revealing their identity, with the SSD confirming that all information is handled under high privacy and data protection standards aligned with international best practices.
This approach is designed to encourage public participation while ensuring personal safety and trust.
Multiple 24/7 Reporting Channels
The reporting service is available around the clock through several official channels:
- Toll-free number: 800 6600
- Mobile App: SSD UAE App
- SMS: Short code 6006
These options ensure accessibility for all residents, regardless of preferred communication method.
A Proactive Security Model
Officials stated that the initiative reflects the UAE’s preventive security strategy, focusing on early intervention rather than reactive enforcement. By empowering the public to report concerns safely, authorities aim to enhance collective resilience against both physical and digital threats.
The move further strengthens the UAE’s position as one of the safest and most security-conscious countries globally.
