Elite Female Police Officers

Did you know that the city of Dubai also has its very own elite all-female squad in the police force? The team was put together in an effort to combat fraud and theft in and around Dubai. They also handle gender sensitive matters that the emirate’s culture deems inappropriate for male officers to deal with. The members of this elite team had been handpicked out of “policewomen appointed at various police stations, with experience in protecting VIPs and guarding the convicts.” One requirement is to be fluent in both English and Arabic. This was a move that was praised as a large leap forward for the women of the Muslim world.

Dubai has definitely made waves in the past couple of years – so much so that it has even attracted many A-list celebrities! This is certainly impressive when you consider the fact that it was no more than a desert land fairly recently. As a matter of fact, the first skyscraper there was built only in 1979. Kim Kardashian is one celebrity who paid Dubai a high-profile visit. You can see her here dressed in traditional garb as she gets ready for her camel ride. Together with family members and fellow reality television stars, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star was in the UAE to give a makeup class. Of course, she did not miss the opportunity to shop until she dropped in Dubai’s malls. Moreover, she also went on her very own desert adventure and dropped by a center for kids with special needs.
