'People are surprised and happy to see me arrive in a patrol and respond to their reports. This gives me great motivation.'
Her day typically starts by collecting the security patrol vehicle before heading into the Bur Dubai jurisdiction. 'Working with Dubai Police makes me feel that I am serving my country and the community, which brings me immense joy,' she said.
Despite the demanding nature of her role, Al Blooshi maintains a strong focus on her family. With children ranging in age from 2 to 17, she credits discipline and time management for her ability to juggle home and work responsibilities. 'I take care of my family, prepare meals, help my children with their studies, and follow up on their academic needs. I'm proud of my work and equally proud of my role as a mother.'
