Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) has teamed up with Dubai Police to broaden its drone network. This initiative aims to boost security and awareness in one of Dubai's key business areas. The drones will be deployed across DMCC’s Uptown Dubai and Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT) communities, marking the first use of the advanced Drone Box system for monitoring high-rise buildings.

It significantly improves emergency response and remote monitoring capabilities in high-rise settings. The Drone Box system is recognised as one of the most advanced drone technologies globally, enhancing public safety in Dubai.

Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman and CEO of DMCC, stated, "The Drone Box system is one of the world’s most advanced drone technologies, playing a significant role in enhancing Dubai’s public safety. The use of the Drone Box system in DMCC’s JLT and Uptown Dubai communities marks the first time this technology is used for high-rise buildings, demonstrating our commitment to providing the very best experience across our districts. Our latest partnership with Dubai Police shows we continue to set the standards for smart, innovative and secure urban living in one of Dubai’s most vibrant communities."

This partnership underscores DMCC's dedication to offering top-tier experiences within its districts. By collaborating with Dubai Police, DMCC continues to lead in smart, innovative, and secure urban living solutions within one of Dubai's most dynamic communities.

Captain Mohammed Omar Almuhairi, head of the Unmanned Aerial Systems Centre (UASC) at the General Department of Operations, elaborated on this initiative. He said, "The Drone Box system is a city-wide initiative by Dubai Police that has proven crucial in reducing emergency response times and providing vital data to support decision-making processes. Together with DMCC, we aim to leverage these aerial capabilities to enhance public safety and situational awareness in one of the world's fastest-growing free zones and business hubs."

The collaboration aims to utilise aerial capabilities to improve public safety and situational awareness within one of the world's rapidly expanding free zones and business centres.
