Al Assas Unit

Lt. General Al Marri met the “Al Assas” unit, which represents the history of the Dubai Police, wearing uniforms dating back more than half a century and carrying traditional weapons such as the “Kand” used to protect the community and combat crime.

Bicycle Patrols

He also listened to a presentation about the Bicycle Team, which plays a vital role in enhancing security and safety in Dubai. The team secures events, celebrations, and activities throughout the emirate. The importance of the Bicycle Team lies in their ability to reach all locations quickly, overcome traffic congestion and narrow spaces, and enhance police presence and communication with the public as they are stationed across tourist sites, commercial centres, markets, beaches, and water channels.

The Resilience Centre

The platform also showcased information about the Resilience Centre in Dubai Police, which specializes in procedures that enhance resilience and reduce risks. The centre confirms to visitors Dubai’s high resilience in dealing with various emergencies and crises, thanks to the city’s advanced infrastructure. Dubai has won the “Model City in the Field of Resilience, Intelligence, and Sustainability” award, presented by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction. This award is granted to the best cities in the world for efficient procedures that enhance resilience and reduce risks. Dubai has been ranked as the first resilience centre globally and is the only city to receive this honour among 56 ranked cities and 4,357 cities competing for the award.

Inmates Products

The stand also displayed products made by inmates of the General Department of Punitive and Correctional Institutions at Dubai Police. These products are produced by the inmates themselves as part of the professional programs of the correctional institutions and are showcased by Dubai Police at external exhibitions and within community events and initiatives. This enables inmates to support themselves in the future with lawful projects that keep them away from wrongdoing and reintegrate them into society.
