An Estonian tourist was praised by Dubai Police for her honesty when she handed over a piece of gold jewellery she found in a popular tourist area.
Marion Kaljon was honoured and given a certificate of appreciation by the General Department of Criminal Investigation at Dubai Police. Admiring Kaljon’s exemplary conduct and a strong sense of responsibility, Brigadier Khalfan Obaid Al Jallaf, Director of the Tourist Police Department, said, "This act reflects the noble values of honesty and cooperation we aim to instil and celebrate within our community."
According to police, Kaljon immediately reported the lost jewellery she had found and handed it over to the Tourist Police, demonstrating a commendable level of civic awareness and ethical behaviour.
“Such stories set a powerful example for others and reinforce our shared commitment to a safe and cooperative society,” Brigadier Al Jallaf said.
On April 5, Dubai authorities honoured two residents for their honesty in handing over jewellery and money found in Naif Police Station's jurisdiction.
The authorities presented certificates of appreciation to Mohammad Azam and Saeed Ahmad, praising their integrity and responsible conduct.
These recognitions to residents and tourists align with Dubai Police’s commitment to fostering a positive citizenship and community partnership, encouraging the public to take initiative in upholding safety and security.
Recently, Dubai Police also honoured Shahvez Khan, a 28-year-old trainee auditor from India, with a police medal and a cash award of Dh1,000 for his bravery during last year’s April floods. Khan had risked his life to save five people from a sinking SUV.
