Sharjah residents can now file cheque-related complaints at any police station across the emirate, following a new initiative by Sharjah Police designed to make financial reporting faster and more accessible. Previously, cheque complaints could only be filed at the police headquarters. Now, thanks to a major upgrade, residents can submit reports electronically at their nearest comprehensive station, including cases involving closed accounts, forged cheques, or those deliberately issued without funds. The enhanced service also allows for the digital issuance of bank certificates, cutting down on waiting times and paperwork for both individuals and businesses. Brigadier General Ibrahim Musabah Al Ajel, Director General of the General Department of Comprehensive Police Stations, said the move is part of the police’s wider efforts to improve public services. “Our goal is to expand the reach of our services and make procedures faster and more convenient for everyone,” Al Ajel said. “By distributing responsibilities across all comprehensive stations, we reduce pressure on the main center and give residents more options to file or follow up on reports close to home.” Sharjah Police said the initiative reinforces its commitment to transparency, efficiency, and public trust — key pillars in its mission to enhance quality of life and community safety in the emirate.
