The force is currently led by Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, whose formal title is the Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police; he succeeded Khamis Mattar Al Mezaina in 2017.[4]
Dhahi Khalfan Tamim served as the Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police until his new (and current role) in 2013 as the Deputy Chief of Police and General Security.[5]
One of the main reasons for the low crime rate in Dubai is the strict law enforcement policies. The Dubai Police Department has a reputation for being one of the most efficient and well-equipped police force in the world.[6]
Dubai Police recorded an average emergency response time of 2 minutes and 24 seconds in the third quarter of 2023.[7]
