94 Drivers Honoured as Dubai Police Vehicle Accidents Drop 28%
Dubai Police has achieved a significant 28% reduction in traffic accidents involving fleet vehicles over recent years. The force credits this sharp decline to intensive awareness campaigns and specialized training programs for every patrol driver.
Advanced technologies now play a central role in improving emergency response times and overall fleet readiness across the emirate. This safety milestone was celebrated during the 8th edition of the “Safe Driving Stars” initiative held recently.
Smart Technology Driving Fleet Safety
The force has integrated the “iServe” smart car-sharing service to optimize daily use of each patrol unit. This digital application supports shared-vehicle access and fleet efficiency, allowing employees to operate vehicles via a seamless mobile interface.
By adopting these advanced systems, Dubai Police ensures that its fleet remains ready for high-pressure emergencies. These specialized driver training programs focus on defensive driving techniques tailored for the unique road conditions in the UAE.
Rewarding Excellence Across 5 Categories
A total of 94 exemplary drivers were honored at the Dubai Police Officers Club for their commitment to safety. The “Safe Driving Stars” program uses a tiered system to recognize officers who maintain perfect records while on duty.
This initiative is supported by Juma Al Majid and the Abu Dhabi National Insurance Company to promote road safety. The following table highlights the distribution of winners recognized during this year’s ceremony across all 5 major categories.
| Award Category | Number of Winners |
| Diamond Category | 24 Drivers |
| Platinum Category | 24 Drivers |
| Gold Category | 24 Drivers |
| Silver Category | 11 Drivers |
| Bronze Category | 11 Drivers |
This data proves that incentive-based safety programs are highly effective for large-scale fleet operations in the GCC. By rewarding Diamond-level performance, Dubai Police creates a competitive culture of responsibility that can help reduce operational risks and repair costs.
We expect more regional fleet operators to adopt similar safety models to reduce fleet-related incidents and improve overall road standards.
The Future of the Patrol Fleet
The success of these initiatives reflects a broader commitment to making Dubai roads the safest in the world. High-performing departments also received shields for maintaining the highest standards of vehicle care and operational discipline during patrol duties.
Major General Hareb Al Shamsi emphasized that recognizing excellence is key to strengthening the institution’s leadership.
