If you’ve noticed drones hovering above Dubai’s streets recently, particularly around accident sites, you’ve witnessed Dubai Police’s latest high-tech initiative. These drones are revolutionizing emergency response, serving as the force’s eyes in the sky.
Dubai Police has implemented the innovative “Drone Box” system, designed to deploy drones rapidly in response to accidents and emergencies. These drones swiftly assess situations and relay critical information back to the police, enabling quicker and more efficient responses.
“Dubai Police remains at the forefront of innovation with our smart and advanced drone system, supporting police and security operations,” said Brigadier Turki bin Faris, director of the General Department of Operations at Dubai Police.
The strategic “Drone Box” project leverages the latest security technologies to enhance community safety and crime prevention. Equipped with multiple smart platforms throughout the emirate, drones are dispatched promptly upon receiving reports, significantly reducing response times in critical situations.
Brigadier Turki highlighted that the system supports a variety of police and security operations, including traffic and security patrols, rescue missions, crisis and disaster management, proactive risk detection, traffic monitoring, and providing essential data to the command center.
Confirming the drones’ presence in various parts of Dubai, Brigadier Turki assured that they are integral to ongoing police operations aimed at bolstering security. These drones assist officers in serving the community according to the highest standards, ensuring privacy while maintaining Dubai’s status as one of the world’s safest cities.
