The UAE has become the world's fourth best country in terms of reliability of police services in 2010, an international report has said.
According to the Global Enabling Trade 2010, released by the World Economic Forum, the UAE came among the top 20 countries in the Enabling Trade Index, leading the region at a very strong 16th position, ahead of the United Kingdom, Chile, and the United States.
The UAE also achieved another distinct advantage, ranking fourth in physical security.
The report measures levels of violence in each country, including crime rates and threats to security.
Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Lt. General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan described the achievement as an "outcome of the wise policy of the country's leadership and the strategies of the federal government".
"This ranking is a fruit of the unlimited and continuous support by President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and General Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces".
