The UAE has rolled out a new, anonymous way for residents to report state security and public safety concerns—and yes, it’s designed to be simple, secure, and judgment-free.

Announced on Monday, the State Security Department (SSD) introduced a service that lets people share information about threats to national security or community stability, with full privacy guaranteed.

What You Can Report

This isn’t just for extreme cases. The SSD says reports can cover a wide range of security-related concerns, including:

  • Suspicious or extremist activity

  • Threats to public safety

  • Espionage

  • Leaks of sensitive information

  • Abuse of the state and its symbols

  • Any behavior that could disrupt community stability

Basically, if something feels off and could affect public safety, this channel is there for it.

Anonymous, Secure, and No Legal Risk

Worried about blowback? The SSD says whistleblowers can submit reports without revealing their identity. All information is handled securely and treated with strict confidentiality.

They’ve also made it clear: reporting in good faith won’t land you in legal trouble.

How to Submit a Report

The service is available 24/7 and can be accessed through multiple communication channels, including the SSD’s official website. The goal is to make it easy for residents to step in and help keep their communities safe—anytime, anywhere.

A Quick Reminder on State Symbols and Online Content

Authorities continue to warn against actions that mock or harm the reputation of the UAE and its institutions. Under Federal Law No. 34 of 2021 on combating rumours and cybercrimes, posting content intended to ridicule or damage the country’s image can lead to:

  • Up to five years in jail

  • Fines of up to Dh500,000

Sharing anti-social or morally offensive content online that goes against the UAE’s values of tolerance and coexistence can also result in fines of up to Dh1 million and possible imprisonment.
