Dubai Police Carnival At City Walk Brings Interactive Shows And Smart Services To The Public

Families and tourists are gathering at City Walk Dubai for the Dubai Police Carnival, where visitors explore police services, volunteering options, and safety technologies alongside family entertainment. The event combines education and leisure, allowing the public to interact closely with specialist units and learn how police work supports daily life across the emirate.

The Dubai Police Carnival is running at City Walk Dubai until Sunday, with activities open daily from 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm. The opening ceremony is attended by Major General Rashid Al Falasi, Brigadier Ali Khalfan Al Mansouri, and Brigadier Expert Hamed Mohammad Al Hashemi, reflecting high-level institutional support for the initiative.

Brigadier Ali Khalfan Al Mansouri states that the carnival demonstrates Dubai Police’s focus on strengthening security awareness through community-based initiatives. Al Mansouri explains that interacting with residents in a relaxed setting supports communication, builds confidence in police services, and deepens the sense of shared responsibility between law enforcement, residents, and visitors across different backgrounds.

According to Al Mansouri, the Dubai Police Carnival aligns with the force’s strategic objectives, including public safety, security, and community happiness. The event presents police services through family-friendly activities and open dialogue. It also creates new channels to reach various social groups in a transparent way, reinforcing the message that every community member helps maintain safety.

Visitors move between stands that outline a wide range of police, traffic, and community services, with the Dubai Police Smart App at the centre. The app lets users pay traffic fines, report accidents or cybercrime, request certificates and permits, and trigger an SOS function. It supports multiple languages and enables transactions without visiting stations.

Community members also receive information about the Dubai Police Volunteering Platform, which offers structured roles for residents who want to assist community projects. Another focus is the Smart Home Security service, which connects home sensors and cameras to the Dubai Police operations room, allowing around-the-clock monitoring and fast response when alarms are triggered.

Additional services introduced at the Dubai Police Carnival include the Police Eye platform for reporting violations, a smart Lost and Found system, and an improved service for checking circulars and travel bans. The Aman Roads platform is presented as well, offering guidance on safer behaviour for drivers, pedestrians, and students, with a focus on reducing traffic incidents.

The Dubai Police Carnival delivers a colourful environment for different age groups, especially children and teenagers. A key attraction is the Makers Studio, where young visitors join creative workshops to develop skills and explore talents. The space encourages practical learning in an inspiring environment while highlighting how innovation supports modern policing and community services.

Khalid Children’s Magazine, produced by the Security Media Department, runs an interactive zone that blends learning and play through digital games, sports challenges, competitions, and quizzes. Children can collect printed copies of the magazine, police-themed stickers, and small gifts. The area is designed to build early awareness of safety topics in a simple, engaging way.

The Dubai Police Museum corner introduces visitors to the force’s history, displaying artefacts, uniforms, equipment, and photographs that document major stages of development. The historic Ramadan Cannon from 1945 is also showcased. Around the site, the programme features motorcycle and cycling displays, Dubai Police Academy Band performances, K9 demonstrations, luxury tourist patrol cars, the Ghiath patrol simulator, a vintage Land Rover, and equipment linked to the UAE SWAT Challenge, including an armoured vehicle and diving suit, giving attendees a broad look at operational capabilities.
