Dubai Police have fulfilled the wish of a 4-year-old Arab by helping him to be a police officer for one day and giving him a ride in one of Dubai Police’s luxury police patrols.

This kind gesture is part of the ‘Fulfil a Child’s Wish’ initiative and came after the Security Awareness Department at the General Department of Community Happiness, in collaboration with the Tourism Police Department at the General Department of Criminal Investigations, had learned the boy’s wish from his parents.
