Dubai has been one of the safest countries in the world for years. The crime rate in the emirate is very low, partly due to the high level of punishment for offenses. Because Dubai is very safe, you don’t see much police on the streets, but that doesn’t mean there is no police presence in Dubai. The police in Dubai mainly focus on enforcement, control, and assisting tourists who need help, such as with a lost phone or accident.
The Dubai Police force has become world-famous in recent years, largely due to the impressive fleet of vehicles they use. Dubai Police officers have been driving around in expensive sports cars from brands like Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Mercedes for years.”
