Detained in Dubai Police Checks

You could be one flight away from life in UAE prison - WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT

People are subjected to criminal cases in Dubai for often surprising reasons.

It could be a financial or business or employment dispute, a fine, a landlord or rental car claim or something more serious.

The motivation for opening a case can be inspired by personal grievances, spite, revenge or to financially extort someone.

The crime does not even need to be committed in the UAE. It could even be over a social media post or fundraiser operated from abroad.

• 27% of travellers are at high risk

• 56% of travellers are at medium risk

• 20% of travellers are at low risk

UAE Police Check (UAEPC) is an essential preventative service provided by Detained in Dubai, an organisation founded in 2008.

CEO Radha Stirling hopes UAEPC will help prevent the unnecessary arrest and detention of individuals in the Emirates and beyond.  Stirling, who has dealt with more than twenty thousand cases of injustice, says, “The vast majority of arrests on arrival could have been prevented if the traveller had opted to check their status before flying.

“Most people who have faced arrest on arrival had no idea there could have been a case against them.  Had they known in advance, they could have rescheduled their itinerary to give us a chance to address the legal issues and prevent their subsequent arrest”.

UAEPC aims to reduce the number of foreign nationals unfairly detained in the Middle East and raise awareness of the prevalence of secret police cases amongst visitors.

By raising awareness, Stirling aims to reduce the number of arrests by 25% by providing travellers with advance knowledge of any police cases that might be against them.  “Once we are aware of the case, we can confront it head on and make sure the situation is resolved from the safety of the individual’s home country”.

UAEPC will advise clients on solutions, where they can travel safely and whether they are at risk of an Interpol Red Notice.  Ms Stirling is an Interpol and Extradition Expert and believes that prevention is the key.  “If travellers are aware and proactive, they can save themselves the trauma, cost and reputational damage resulting from being detained abroad”.

UAEPC steps clients through the whole process, provides peace of mind, standby services for high risk passengers and strategic guidance.
