Dubai Police have launched a series of innovative initiatives aimed at bolstering safety along the city’s coastline. These measures, unveiled by Lieutenant General Abdulla Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police, during his inspection of the Ports Police Station, include beach patrols, summer training programs for children, and volunteer opportunities for the public. The beach patrols will monitor Dubai’s shores to ensure the safety of beachgoers, while summer training programs will equip school students with lifeguarding and rescue skills. Additionally, the public is encouraged to participate in maritime security efforts by volunteering for marine rescue training and incident reporting. Lieutenant General Al Marri also reviewed the station’s fleet of boats and jet skis, ensuring their readiness for emergencies. Last year, the Ports Police Station successfully secured over 100 maritime events across 12 sea zones and 7 land jurisdictions. The station’s teams have also excelled in local and international sporting competitions, earning multiple medals. Among Dubai Police’s forward-thinking projects is Haddad, an eco-friendly, self-driving smart police boat equipped with remote-control functions and advanced monitoring systems. This initiative aligns with Dubai’s Urban Plan 2040 and its commitment to reducing carbon emissions. Lieutenant General Al Marri emphasized the importance of evolving security systems to match Dubai’s rapid development, praising the Ports Police Station as a vital hub for coastal safety. He affirmed that Dubai’s leadership fully supports these efforts, reinforcing the emirate’s reputation as one of the world’s safest coastal cities.
