Dubai Police on Saturday announced a major new initiative to divide the emirate into "urban" and "rural" zones, with the goal of improving security and response times. The announcement was made through the authority's official X account and their website. 

This strategic division will optimise the allocation of resources, including patrols and personnel, and incorporate cutting-edge smart technologies and artificial intelligence into each zone.

This reorganisation will ensure a more efficient distribution of specialised personnel across security, traffic management, and other critical services, according to Major General Khalil Ibrahim Al Mansouri, Assistant Commander-in-Chief for Criminal Investigation Affairs at Dubai Police.

Brigadier Turki bin Faris also underscored the importance of this shift, noting that the reorganisation will boost the overall efficiency of Dubai Police operations.

He added that it will lead to faster response times, particularly in emergency situations, and improve security coverage across the entire emirate. 

The division of zones will also help in achieving the long-term goal of ensuring the safety, security, and happiness of the community through quicker and more effective police interventions.

The initiative is in line with the Dubai Urban Plan 2024, designed to enhance the city’s infrastructure and public safety. 

It is expected to significantly improve response times to incidents and emergencies, further cementing Dubai’s position as one of the world’s safest cities.
