Dubai Police Forces are under the jurisdiction of the UAE Vice President and Prime Minister. The staff includes about 15 thousand employees. The police structure is very well developed and thought out to the smallest detail.
Dubai Police Department
Dubai Police was created with the first police station on June 1, 1956 in Naif, which is located in Deira (Dubai). At that time there were only 29 employees. The number of employees has increased from time to time.
In 1973, the police moved to their headquarters, where they are today, on Al Etihad Street in Dubai. It is currently planned to open an office in the newly built headquarters in Deira.
Dubai Police Building
The new headquarters for the police is designed to meet several conditions. A priority:
- easy access to the site, for officers and for citizens;
- modernized modern building;
- modern machinery and equipment;
- new design and a separate area for each department.
One of the pluses is the central multi-level interior space. The construction is no different from the evolving architecture of the city of Dubai. The police have 10 police stations and about 17 different departments. Each of which has its own functions and tasks.
The latest work techniques
Dubai police are the most progressive and most modernized in the United Arab Emirates. They are the first to start using:
- New methods, including electronic fingerprints and the use of DNA tests in criminal investigations.
