Everyone should carry his or her ID with them when leaving the house. "Inspections and checkpoints are held frequently in different areas of Kuwait. Those who are not able to identify themselves while not carrying their civil ID or passport will be arrested. It doesn't matter whether they are citizens or expatriates, everyone should have his or her identification documents," he said.

Al-Kanderi also pointed out ways of helping friends or family who have been arrested by the police. "You should write down the license plate number and color of the police patrol vehicle that arrested someone you know. We have three separate kinds of police, including traffic (blue and yellow cars), emergency (black and white cars) and police patrols (grey and black). You can then bring the ID belonging to your arrested friend or family member to the police station where he was taken to. Drivers should also write down the color and number of the police patrol vehicle if his or her driving license or car papers were confiscated," he explained.

The attendees were also warned about thefts and robberies, especially of vehicles. "Many people are complaining of having things robbed from their vehicles. They should not leave any of their belongings, such as laptops, mobiles, wallets or purses in visible places in their vehicles, as this type of behavior attracts thieves," Al-Kanderi said.

As previously announced by the media, emergency number 777 will stop working by the end of this year and will be replaced by the international emergency number, which is 112. The new number is currently in operation.
