Transforming urban safety through cutting-edge technology.
Dubai Police have rolled out state-of-the-art drone technology to enhance public safety in two of the city’s busiest business districts: Uptown Dubai and Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT). This initiative, in partnership with the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), is a key part of a broader effort to incorporate smart technologies into urban life.

At the heart of this innovation is the Drone Box system, a sophisticated network of drones designed to monitor high-rise areas. These drones offer improved situational awareness, quicker emergency response times, and an overall increase in safety within these densely populated districts. It marks the first deployment of its kind in the region, setting a new standard for urban safety.
