Lightning Fast Guardians: Supercharged Rides of the Dubai Police, Distinct Icons of the UAE
Elite Rides for Visitors: Dubai Police's Luxury Vehicles Showcase - Luxurious Rides for Tourists: Dubai Police's Fleet of Supercars
Penned by: Stefan Grundhoff
For over two decades, an elite unit of the Dubai Police force has cruised the city's streets with high-performance luxury vehicles that redefine the boundaries of speed, exclusivity, and innovation. Far from their typical pursuit of lawbreakers, these officers serve as smiled-upon ambassadors for their nation, incorporating captivating supercars into the tourist experience. As temperatures drop and evenings set in, Officer Ali Yousif, part of this prestigious unit, has arrived in The Frame district, ready to showcase the latest and greatest in auto technology.
Patrol Duty with a Side of Panache
Ali, a 39-year Dubai Police veteran, today dons his regal uniform as he and his colleagues bring their latest fleet additions to The Frame, an eye-catching monument that has been a standout property in Dubai's skyline since 2018. As the sun dips below the horizon and the mercury drops below 40°C, Ali moves his electric Lotus Emeya onto the grounds, joining other officers displaying their luxury cars, including a Rolls-Royce Cullinan Mansory, Bentley Continental GT, Audi R8, and a Tesla Cybertruck, operating in two shifts.
Origins and Objective
The story of these distinctive patrol vehicles began in 2001 as part of Dubai's overall strategy to solidify its presence as a global leader in innovation and tourism. The idea was to create a unique blend of luxury and law enforcement, with supercars and high-end vehicles supplementing the standard Dubai Police fleet[1][3][4]. These showpieces are frequent sights in the heart of the city, drawing tourists and social media enthusiasts alike[1][4].
The Automotive Showcase
Dubai Police boasts an enviable stable of vehicles, including:
- Ferrari Gran Lusso, Lamborghini Urus, and Porsche Panamera, exuding luxury and style.
- Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Bentley Continental, and Mercedes-AMG GT, exuding authority and tradition.
- Audi R8 and BMW 8 Series Coupe, iconic models from the original show fleet[1].
Recent additions to the collection include:
- Rolls-Royce Cullinan Mansory Edition, with a 602 hp, 2025 unveiling[3].
- Lotus Emeya-S, an all-electric model, with a 603 hp, 600 km range[3].
- Zeekr 001, a luxury Chinese electric vehicle, offering 544 hp and a range of 590 km[3].
- Tesla Cybertruck, a much-anticipated addition, boasting a futuristic design and all-electric powertrain[1][4].
- Mercedes-Maybach S-Class and G63 AMG, both tuned by Brabus, for the perfect balance of authority and comfort[1].
A Pilot Program with a Passion for Performance
Car manufacturers from around the globe are eager to lend their high-performance luxury models to the Dubai Police, as the unique unit helps cement their reputations and showcase their cutting-edge offerings[2][3]. Dubai Police initiates this partnership out of a desire to represent the nation, with no traditional car chases or pursuits taking place[2]. Instead, disputes over who gets to drive which supercar are resolved amicably, with vehicles assigned through a duty roster system, much like the standard fleet of civilian patrol vehicles such as BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, or Nissan Patrol[2][3].
Guns and Glamour: Lavish Patrol Vehicles with Added Features
The Dubai Police supercar fleet receives distinctive customizations to make them uniquely their own. Each car is repainted in the iconic white and green livery, outfitted with red and blue LED lights, and equipped with onboard emergency supplies worthy of the Clint Eastwood, such as a weapons safe, first aid kit, and even a defibrillator[3]. In emergencies, these vehicles' combination of speed and power means they can escort injured individuals to hospitals in the blink of an eye.
Training for the Unexpected
Dubai Police officers regularly participate in specialized training on various vehicles to ensure they can transition seamlessly between departments and units[3]. With roles ranging from the supercar patrol to traditional SWAT duties and beyond, the Dubai Police are adept at adapting to changing circumstances and challenges. Officer Ali Yousif, and his fellow supercar officers, are no exception, ready to tackle whatever the city might throw their way while enjoying the thrill of their unique positions.
