Muscat – Royal Oman Police (ROP) has signed an agreement with Oman Investment and Finance Company’s Khedmah platform to provide a number of vehicle related services through the company’s various channels.

The agreement was signed by Maj Gen Khalifa bin Ali Al Siyabi, Assistant Inspector General of Administrative and Financial Affairs, ROP, and Said bin Ahmed Safrar, CEO of Oman Investment and Finance Company.

In the first phase of the agreement, Khedmah will facilitate the payment of traffic violation fines and Mulkiya printing service.

It represents both parties’ shared belief in offering additional benefits to the general public who use traffic services. The collaboration will save the public time, effort and money by allowing them to avail a variety of services under one roof, improving the overall customer experience.”
