Dubai Police says 99.9 per cent of people surveyed felt safe during the day last year, according to figures announced on Sunday.

The survey also found that 99.1 per cent of respondents felt safe in public places at night.

The figures were highlighted during Lieutenant General Abdulla Khalifa Al Marri’s annual inspection of the General Department of Excellence and Pioneering.

Dubai Police also reported a 40 per cent reduction in administrative procedures, from 2,791 to 1,670, as part of efforts to simplify processes and improve operational efficiency.

The force reviewed a decade of projects and technological developments, including Smart Police Stations, the Oyoon project, the eCrime platform, Ghiath Smart Patrols, Drone Box and AI-based performance tools.

The report also outlined the department’s strategy through 2033, focusing on flexible planning, specialist talent, institutional excellence and greater use of artificial intelligence.

Al Marri called for continued investment in technology, international best practice and innovative projects aimed at improving policing operations and strengthening Dubai Police’s global competitiveness.
