Major General Al Mansouri emphasized the vital role played by the General Department of Operations including:
- Maintaining security
- Ensuring the rapid arrival of patrols and rescue teams to the scenes of incidents and reports.
He noted that, in alignment with Dubai Urban Plan 2040, the division of Dubai into urban and rural zones was implemented to enhance security coverage.
And also to improve response times in their respective jurisdictions.
He explained that this zoning strategy helps optimize the allocation of personnel based on their specialization, whether in security, traffic, or community services.
Contributing to the strategic objective of strengthening the security system and making Dubai a “safe city”.
While also working towards public happiness.
Brigadier Turki bin Faris added that dividing the areas into urban and rural zones supports the operations of Dubai Police throughout the emirate.
As it boosts operational efficiency, improves future planning, and enables excellence and leadership in service delivery.
Especially by speeding up responses to emergency reports and increasing security coverage across all regions.
