Dubai Police Force was established in early June 1956, with its first headquarters located at Naif Fort, where it remained until 1973. The Force later moved to its current headquarters in the Al Tawar North area, while Naif Fort was converted into one of Dubai Police’s active stations.

Today, Dubai Police stand among the most advanced law enforcement agencies in the world. The General Command is dedicated to safeguarding the security, safety, and stability of the Emirate of Dubai. Its mission goes beyond maintaining public order, it also encompasses delivering exceptional services to every resident and visitor across the emirate.

The Dubai Police Force serves as the official authority for law enforcement, public safety, and security in the Emirate of Dubai. Recognized as one of the most distinguished security institutions in the United Arab Emirates, Dubai Police has, since its establishment on June 1, 1956, positioned itself as a pioneering force that embraces innovation and technology across all areas of policing.

Dubai Police began its operations at Naif Fort with only 29 officers before relocating to its current headquarters in Al Tawar in 1973. Today, Dubai Police employ more than 32,000 highly qualified personnel operating through an extensive network of police stations across the emirate.

Guided by a forward-looking strategy, Dubai Police continuously adapt to modern security challenges by leveraging advanced technologies powered by artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things. These innovations have led to measurable improvements in performance, contributing to the safety and well-being of the community.

Dubai Police remain committed to developing its technological and operational infrastructure, exemplified by the establishment of fully automated Smart Police Stations and the growing use of intelligent systems in patrols, surveillance, and emergency response. In parallel, its leadership places strong emphasis on community engagement through awareness programs and creative social initiatives designed to build public trust and strengthen the concept of sustainable, participatory security within a smart policing framework.
