American and Saudi Police

American and Saudi Police

Any person living in big city should keep emergency contact numbers in mind, and write them down just in case of any danger. In America, it is no need to save any number except two numbers, “911”, and “311”. “911” is just for emergency situations such as, robbing, fighting, kidnaping, and life-threatening situations. In contrast, In Saudi Arabia people have to know every number for police, ambulance, civil defense, and so on. Therefore, I like what the American government used to unify all emergency contact into one number.

 

Also, the most important thing about all the emergencies is not the contact numbers, but it is how they respond to people. For instance, I noticed that here in America the police respond to any report so much faster than what the Saudi police do. That is because the police cars are everywhere inside any city in the United States. On the other hand, most police cars in Saudi Arabia stay near police offices. The reason for this is that Saudi Arabia has many fewer emergencies than the United States.

Emergency numbers in every country in the world have to be easy for citizens. The United States did that and made two easy numbers that everyone can keep in mind. Also, Saudi Arabia made easy numbers, but there are too many numbers to keep in mind so that is the problem. In addition, because of fewer emergency situations in Saudi Arabia, police tend to be less active. In the end, I really appreciate American police for their help toward citizens. I hope from the Saudi government to unify all emergency number into one number.
