Dubai Police Adopts Urban-Rural Zoning Strategy to Boost Security and Response Times
Dubai Police has unveiled a new operational strategy that divides the emirate into 'urban' and 'rural' zones, aiming to enhance security coverage, cut emergency response times, and improve resource deployment in line with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. The announcement was made during the first-quarter review meeting of the General Department of Operations, chaired by Expert Major General Khalil Ibrahim Al Mansouri, Assistant Commandant-in-Chief for Criminal Investigations. The meeting was attended by senior officers from across the force. Major General Al Mansouri highlighted the importance of the strategy in supporting public safety and the swift mobilisation of patrol and emergency units. He noted that the new zoning approach complements Dubai's broader urban development goals and boosts the police department's overall operational readiness. By distinguishing between urban and rural areas, the police can now allocate personnel and patrol units more effectively, adapting to the specific security, traffic, and community service needs of each zone. This move is expected to streamline operations and reinforce Dubai's standing as one of the safest cities in the world. Brigadier Turki bin Faris added that the new model would significantly enhance operational efficiency and emergency responsiveness. He also pointed to the role of smart technologies and AI in enabling more intelligent, data-driven policing across the emirate. The shift marks a key step in aligning policing efforts with Dubai's long-term vision for sustainable growth, innovation, and community wellbeing. News Source: Emirates News Agency
