The force is currently led by Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, whose formal title is the Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police; he succeeded Khamis Mattar Al Mezaina in the year 2017.[5][6]

Dhahi Khalfan Tamim served as the Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police until his new (and current role) in 2013 as the Deputy Chief of Police and General Security.[7]

One of the main reasons for the low crime rate in Dubai is the strict law enforcement policies.[citation needed] The Dubai Police Department has a reputation for being one of the most efficient and well-equipped police forces in the world.[8][9]

Dubai Police recorded an average emergency response time of 2 minutes and 24 seconds in the third quarter of 2023.[10]

Dubai Police is using drones to enhance quick response to emergencies. The police's drones can be identified separately by blue markings. The Dubai police authority is using this technology to boost safety and security by swiftly responding to emergencies.[11]

History

edit

Founded on 1 June 1956, the Dubai Police Force started in Naif (a locality in the Deira side of Dubai) with only 29 members, with the first police station being known as 'Naif Fort'.[12] The size of the force increased gradually, to 105 in 1960 and to 430 by 1967. In 1973, the force moved its headquarters to their current location of Al-Twar, on Al-Etihad Street in Dubai.[13]

The Dubai Police Force strives to be 'most progressive' of all Arabic police forces[14] and aims for high education standards amongst its personnel. The force was the first to use many new law enforcement techniques, including electronic fingerprinting and DNA testing. The force was also the first to use GPS systems to locate stolen vehicles.[15][16]

The force had announced that it planned to deploy its first robot police officer in May 2017, and that their ambition is to have 25 percent of the force consist of robotic officers by 2030, as well as to operate a "smart" police station that "won't require human employees".[17][18] The force was also the first to create a human rights department, as well as the first to employ a community policing programme.[14]

The police force closely cooperates with the civil defence and ambulance personnel.[19][20][21]

After many years, the logo/emblem of the police force was modified in January 2018.[22]

In 2023, the United Arab Emirates’ first ever all-female SWAT team competed in the SWAT World Challenge for the Dubai Police. The team, endorsed by first lieutenant Yasser al Zarouni, is made up of “jiujitsu champions and keen-eyed sharpshooters” such as lieutenant Latifa al-Salman and sergeant Sheikha Ali Abdullah, as well as nine additional members.[23][24][25]

Departments

edit

The Dubai Police Force operates under a general commander and his deputy, who in turn work under the police chief and his own deputy. The general commander forms part of an organisational office which, with a decision making support centre, organises fifteen separate departments:

General Department of Operations

edit

This is the heart of the Dubai Police Force. Round the clock telephone lines help to electronically control all patrols from this department, with 2,000 land lines and 178 fax machines,[27] and utilising wireless equipment to locate both car and foot patrols. The department also coordinates all emergency responses as well as search and rescue operations on land and sea.

General Department of Artificial Intelligence

edit

This department is another integral part of the police force, as well as being the most recent department to be created. It was established in 2001 as part of the aims of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, to form a electronic government. In 2008, 30% of UAE Nationals are assigned to work in the E-services Department to fulfill their duty. In 2014, Director-General Khalid Nasser Alrazooqi introduced Google Glass to the police force to issue fines and identify wanted cars.[28] In 2018, the department was renamed to correspond to the new government direction towards artificial intelligence.

General Department of Criminal Investigation

edit

This is the primary crime fighting department of the Dubai Police, its objectives are laid out as follows:

1. Dealing with petty crime (quarrels, swearing, defamation, etc.).
2. Dealing with offences against the person, such as murder, rape, armed robbery, kidnapping, etc.
3. Dealing with organized crime (drug trafficking, money laundering, internationally wanted criminals, etc.).
4. Social services, such as lost property, things found, certificates of good conduct, licences of all kinds etc.
5. Employing scientific evidence (such as Forensic Medicine, fingerprints, documents, arsons, chemical analysis, firearms, etc.).
6. Employing identity recognition means (such as fingerprints, DNA, criminal records, etc.).
7. Crime prevention methods (such guidance, directives, follow-up, statistical projections, periodicals, etc.).
8. Contains the Dubai section of the International Criminal Police (Interpol).

General Department of Forensic Science and Criminology

edit

The criminal laboratory opened for the Dubai Police in 1982. At that time, it was affiliated with the General Department of Criminal Investigations. Given the increase and expansion of the scope of work in the field of forensic evidence and the multiplying of criminal work departments, in 2000 AD, the laboratory was renamed the General Administration of Forensic Evidence.

On April 14, 2007, the name of the General Administration of Criminal Evidence and Criminology was changed because it also was using science to investigate crime in addition to its administrative tasks.[29] This science studies criminal phenomena and their causes as related to the person or the environment surrounding him or her in order to determine the motives leading to crime and to combat it and limit its spread. Forensic science employs several disciplines, including psychology and sociology.

On March 30, 2016, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, may God protect and preserve him, opened the new General Department of Criminal Evidence and Criminology. His Highness said, “The General Command of Dubai Police has become all its centers and its departments are a beacon of science, learning, training, and the application of international educational curricula and programs specialized in police, security and legal sciences." His Highness affirmed that the General Command of the Dubai Police in cooperation and coordination with police leaders in the state and the Ministry of Interior will continue to watch over the security and stability of Dubai's society.

The Department consists of nine sub departments:

  • Digital Forensics Department
  • Specialized Forensic Evidence Department
  • Crime Scene Department
  • Fingerprint Department
  • Forensic Medicine Department
  • Training and Development Department
  • Administrative Affairs Department
  • Technical Affairs Department

edit
 
Dubai Police officers on horseback

The standard uniform of a Dubai police officer is an olive green shirt with a red band running under the left arm and looped through the left epaulette, a dark green beret with a golden badge depicting the police force's seal, olive green trousers, and black boots. Female officers are required to wear a hijab.

Alternatively, officers wear a light brown shirt and trousers, though the rest of the uniform remains the same. High-ranking officers wear a combination cap and rank badges on the collar, together with their light brown uniform.

Officers carry semi-automatic handguns such as the Caracal and SIG Sauer pistols. Their special emergency unit uses a varied arsenal of weapons such as the MP5 submachine gun, Glock 17 pistols, Ithaca 37 shotguns, M4 and M16 variants, X26 tasers, flash grenades, and other weapons depending on the situation.

 
Dubai Police Nissan Xterra

Dubai Police Force vehicles are painted with a white and dark green colour scheme, with blue emergency lights. Every Dubai police vehicle has the force's website and email addresses printed on it.

The police force uses Dodge Chargers,[46] Nissan Pathfinders, and Toyota Land Cruisers.[47] Other non-exotic police vehicles such as Toyota Prados,[48][49] Fortuners,[50] and Chevrolet Luminas[51] have also been pictured. The police force also operates a fleet of BMW 5 Series E60 cars.[52] In terms of SUVs, they have a Brabus-tuned G-Wagen (known as the G700;[53] revealed at the 2013 Dubai Motor Show[54]), as well as at least one normal Mercedes one.[55] The pickup trucks in the fleet of vehicles come with winches to easily tow or rescue other vehicles or objects.[56]

In 2013, the force fielded new eco-friendly patrol cars.[57] In addition to cars, the force also employs motorcycles, helicopters, and boats.

Exotic vehicles

edit

The Dubai Police Force operates a variety of performance cars, luxury cars, supercars, and concept cars for policing. The rarity and cost of the vehicles, as well as their unusual role in policing, tend to attract the interest of foreigners. However, the belief that they are standard patrol cars or used in pursuits is false—the exotic cars are only used for traffic enforcement in tourist areas, and policing in the rest of the city, including responses to emergencies and pursuits, is conducted by regular patrol units in cheaper patrol cars.[58][59]

Guinness world records awarded Dubai police force for having the world’s fastest car, a Bugatti Veyron in service operation. It has a top speed of 253 mph(407 km/hr). It also has a 16 cylinder engine with capability to generate 1000 horsepower. Acceleration from 0 to 60 mph takes two and a half seconds. The previous record holder belonged to the Italian police force, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4.[58]

Dubai police added Tesla Cybertruck to its fleet of police cars in 2024.[60][61]

In November 2024, Dubai Police added 200 Land Cruiser patrol vehicles to its patrol fleet to enhance security.[62]

Among Dubai's fleet of police cars are:

 
A Dubai Police Bugatti Veyron and Ferrari FF

Motorcycles

Dubai Police W Motors Ghiath—[97] 10 have been delivered, out of an order of 400.[98]

The exotic car collection of the Dubai Police began in 2013, with the introduction of a Lamborghini Aventador.[47]

Ken Block visited Dubai in 2016 and was pictured doing donuts in his Ford Fiesta, surrounded by a ring of vehicles from Dubai's supercar fleet.[99]

In 2019, the force teased an image of a Tesla Cybertruck in Dubai Police livery, and confirmed that they would be ordering one for police service.[100][101] Though touted as the first electric car to be added to Dubai Police's fleet of vehicles, the Hongqi E-HS9, a model which was added to the fleet in 2022,[102] was not actually the first to serve on the fleet, as the force has used BMW i3s since 2017. In 2023, the force took delivery of 100 Audi RS e-tron GTs.[103] The force already owned multiple Audi R8 (Type 4S) cars.[104] The W Motors Ghiath has been in production since at least 2018.[105] The SUV is based on a Tahoe,[106] and comes with an integrated drone featuring thermal imaging.[107]

100 Mitsubishi Pajeros were donated to the police force in 2022.[108]

Some sources attest that the Dubai Police Force have hypercars such as W Motors Lykan HyperSports or LaFerraris in their fleet,[109][110] but they do not; the Abu Dhabi Police Force does have a Lykan instead,[111] and the LaFerrari of the force is merely a render.[112] The Koenigsegg One:1 has also been rendered in Dubai Police livery.[113][114]

Dubai Police's hoverbike crashed in 2020.[115]

Policeman in your Neighborhood

edit

As one of its community policing initiatives, the Dubai Police has introduced the "Policeman in Your Neighborhood" platform, in which a Dubai Police officer serves as a point of contact between locals and visitors to Dubai and the General Command of the Dubai Police to keep an eye on and address issues in residential areas.[162]

The program uses a prevention approach that tackles problems head-on, enhances services, reports on infrastructure to relevant authorities as appropriate, and plans events, after-school activities, and workshops to increase youth awareness.

By creating a strong communication channel to collect complaints and settle disagreements amicably, the initiative's staff had effectively contributed to raising security awareness among Dubai residents and citizens and developing a healthy community relationship.[163][164]

More than 800 members of the public and members of the Dubai Police have volunteered for the project. The volunteers were selected based on their abilities in language, communication, problem-solving, and collaboration because they will be working directly with their neighbors.[165]

AI Police

edit

Dubai Police introduced an AI digital police officer for tourist assistance and help with enquiries and complaints.[166]

Social

This initiative is the result of collaboration between Dubai Police's General Department of Training and the Rochester Institute of Technology in Dubai.[167]

Dubai Culture

edit

Dubai Culture and Dubai Police entered into an agreement to safeguard heritage assets and signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Dubai Police to enhance cooperation in activating the Heritage Police-Al Asas project in historical neighborhoods.[168]

Arrests

edit

In 2011 British tourist Lee Bradley Brown was arrested by the Dubai police and died in prison after 6 days of custody in a controversial manner.[169]

Police have detained protesters many times. Protests are not allowed in the UAE and there is a law banning criticism of the government and police.[170][171][172] Furthermore, a US citizen and a group of others were arrested in 2013 after they made a parody video of Dubai.[173]

In 2018, police arrested a UK national, Dr Matthew Hedges on suspicions of spying for the British government. (See Arrest of Matthew Hedges)

In 2019, Dubai Princess Latifa Al Maktoum escaped Dubai with some other people. She was arrested by Indian and Dubai Police, a few kilometres off the coast of India. She was then taken back to Dubai, where she was sedated and subject to imprisonment.[174]

In September 2023, Dubai Police apprehended six individuals and seized over $1 billion worth of captagon, concealed within furniture.[175] The arrestees were allegedly linked to an international criminal network.[175] The concealed drugs were discovered inside 432 furniture panels and 651 iron and wooden doors, constituting a major seizure in the sphere of global captagon trafficking.[175]

In 2024, The Dubai Police, in partnership with the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai, the Dubai Municipality, and the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department, launched the "Fight Begging" campaign.

During the first day of Ramadan in March 2024, authorities in Dubai arrested 17 individuals suspected of begging across the city. Begging is considered an offence in Dubai and is linked to outcomes, like committing crimes and exploiting vulnerable people for unlawful gains.[176] As a part of this campaign, March 2024, saw the arrest of 202 beggars (112 males and 90 females) in the city.[177]
