Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the establishment of the new police unit to “tackle community safety and human trafficking.”
Analysts claim that the Community Security Unit has been formed in response to 'remarkably increased activity' with regard to sex and other alleged issues of morality.
For years the Kingdom has moved to release its social limitations and moved to diversify the economy.
The government announced a 'public decency' law in 2019, but according to the newspaper it was not strictly enforced.
Some locals have praised the new community security unit and claim that 'exterminating human trafficking is a good thing'.
But others compare the unity with the religious police of the country that, until Prince Mohammed, stripped a lot of his power in 2016, had enforced some of the strictest moral codes and gender separation policy in the world.

Saudi authorities are reportedly to do with an increase in drug abuse and prostitution, according to the Financial Times.

The Saudi Ministry of the Interior Last month, the new unit has drawn up as an attempt to maintain personal rights, fundamental freedoms that are guaranteed by the Sharia Law, the legal framework of the Kingdom and individual dignity.
But some analysts now claim that this positioning was only an attempt to prevent criticism from human rights organizations and Western governments.
“Usually the framing of such announcements about safety instead of human rights would be,” Sultan Alamer, a Senior Resident Fellow at the Washington -based New Lines Institute, told the newspaper.
Khalid al-Sulaiman, a columnist for the semi-official OKAZ Daily, suggests that the unit was made in direct answer to public impressions of morality and online advertisements for illegal services.
He greeted Saudi Arabia for having a 'special religious and social identity as the birthplace of Islam' and in one piece wrote that no one would 'distort' the image of the Kingdom of 'moral and social values ​​at a high level.
“If such immoral and illegal practices were done earlier in secret, those they practice today should never have the feeling that they can appear in public without consequences,” the columnist added.
