Luxury for Visitors: Dubai Police's Fleet of Supercars for Tourists' Delight - Luxury rides for tourists in Dubai: Dubai Police's supercars on display

For two decades, an elite squad of the Dubai Police force has been patrolling the city's streets in a fleet of high-performance luxury cars. Instead of chasing down criminals or traffic violators, these officers serve as ambassadors of their country, showcasing Dubai's wealth and innovation to tourists. Now, more and more electric cars are joining the lineup.

Tourist Hotspots Patrolled by Supercars

Today, Ali Yousif is on duty at "The Frame," one of Dubai's most impressive sights. He and his fellow officers arrived in their luxurious vehicles to display the latest additions to the supercar fleet. As the sun sets, Ali, wearing his ceremonial uniform, pilots his new Lotus Emeya, an electric limousine.

The 39-year-old policeman has been serving his country for two decades and is honored to be a part of the most coveted special unit of the police force. While counter-terrorism units like the UAE-SWAT tackle organized crime and smuggling, Ali's duties are decidedly less action-packed.

Supercar Fleet since 2001

The Dubai Police's supercar fleet, established in 2001, boasts a collection of luxury and high-performance vehicles: Ferrari Gran Lusso, Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Panamera, Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Bentley Continental, BMW 8 Series Coupe, and Mercedes AMG GT, among others. Even with the high-value and lightning-fast patrol vehicles, there's no room for jealously or competitiveness among the officers. Vehicles are assigned via a duty roster, just like regular patrol vehicles.

Luxury Cars without the Drama

World-renowned car manufacturers line up to provide the Dubai Police with their top-of-the-line vehicles. Ali explains the unique nature of their roles: "As a tourist police force, we're the face of our country. There are no car chases with the supercars – that's for our other units."

An Arsenal in the Lamborghini

Lamborghini has been a long-term collaborator with the Dubai Police force, providing them with powerful superSUVs like the 666-horsepower Urus Performante, capable of top speeds of 306 km/h. The reinforcements are intended to aid the police in better serving the public, particularly at tourist attractions and popular venues.

The supercars are outfitted with police livery, blue LED lights, and additional equipment like weapons safes, first-aid kits, and defibrillators. In emergencies, these vehicles can make swift trips to some of Dubai's many hospitals.

Now, with Electric Power

Police officers are regularly trained on various vehicles, as the Supercar division is only one of many roles within the local force. Officers often switch between departments and units. Ali Yousif is particularly thrilled to be serving in the Supercar division, just as his colleagues are.

As Dubai strives to become a leaders in renewable energy and sustainable practices, the police force has embraced electric vehicles. The fleet includes the Cybertruck, which has generated buzz in the patrol fleet for several months. With the addition of the electric Lotus Emeya, the Dubai Police continues to push the boundaries, combining luxury and high performance with a commitment to a greener future.
