Dubai Police: 4,870 Rescue Missions Completed in First Half of 2026
During the first six months of 2026, Dubai Police demonstrated exceptional operational efficiency by successfully executing 4,870 search and rescue missions. The force’s diverse range of interventions included managing 385 accident scenes, conducting nearly 1,600 vehicle recovery and towing tasks, and resolving 575 incidents involving locked vehicles, homes, or elevators. These efforts, supported by 416 security missions and 72 specialized training exercises, highlight the authority's commitment to maintaining Dubai’s reputation as one of the world’s safest urban centers.
Brigadier Khalid Ibrahim, Director of the Search and Rescue Department, attributed these achievements to the unwavering support of the force's leadership and a strategic focus on public safety. By investing in high-tech equipment and rigorous training simulations that mimic real-world crises—such as vehicle entrapments and high-altitude rescues—the department has significantly optimized its response times. Moving forward, Dubai Police remains dedicated to enhancing its proactive service model, ensuring that its personnel are always prepared to protect lives and property with professional precision.
