Abu dhabi: The UAE State Security Department (SSD) has announced the launch of the 'SSD' service to receive security reports from members of the public. The initiative introduces a direct communication channel dedicated to reporting potential risks or threats that may impact individual safety and societal stability. It aims to enhance rapid response, improve the efficiency of preventive security operations, and strengthen the national security framework.
According to Emirates News Agency, the initiative is rooted in the belief that security is a shared responsibility, with public awareness and participation being crucial for confronting security challenges. The service empowers individuals to become active participants in safeguarding national achievements and ensuring a stable environment by proactively preventing risks.
The service also aims to promote community partnership and build trust between the public and security institutions, thereby preserving social peace and preventing behaviors that may destabilize society. The SSD service is tasked with receiving reports on extremist activities, suspicious conduct, insults to the state, information leaks, espionage, threats, and other security observations impacting community stability.
The State Security Department has emphasized its commitment to maintaining high privacy standards, allowing reporters to share information confidentially. Reports are received without revealing the reporter's identity, ensuring confidentiality and data protection. Security reports can be submitted via the toll-free number 8006600, facilitating fast communication and efficient handling of reports.
The launch of the SSD service coincides with the verification of the State Security Department's official account on the 'X' platform. This platform serves as an interactive space for disseminating accurate security information and fostering public engagement in support of national interests. The public is encouraged to follow the official account on the 'X' platform (https://x.com/ssd_gov_ae) for updates, security alerts, and communication guidelines to support community security and stability.
