ABU DHABI 14 April 2020: The General Command of the Abu Dhabi Police (ADP) has launched the ‘From Home to Home’ initiative to enhance its communication with the community and spread awareness messages and urgent announcements during the current crisis that requires timely communication.

The initiative aims to provide the public with advice and guidance around the clock.
