There aren't any traffic police of the sky per se but at least in the US controllers can and do report unusual and potentially violating events like this, I would assume the UAE has similar provisions. For the most part though commercial pilots are assumed to be adequately supervised by their companies, which have various means of doing so.
From a research perspective, the US has a strong model of voluntary reporting of safety events to NASA ASRS which is used by researchers. This is all human-generated rather than automated, but that's probably a good thing since am explicit goal of ASRS is to not be viewed as a punitive or disciplinary system. It has long been found that if people think safety incidents will be used for discipline or evaluation, then they won't report safety incidents - which is the origin of NASA acting as a neutral non-regulatory party to collect this data.
