Dubai Police Deploys 36 Robots as AI Transforms Policing
Dubai Police has deployed 36 robots as it expands artificial intelligence across policing, administration and public services. Meanwhile, the force completed 104 strategic and operational technology projects over the past year.
The robots now handle various tasks and administrative operations. As a result, they help accelerate procedures, increase productivity and reduce routine workloads.
Moreover, automation allows personnel to focus more closely on specialised tasks that provide greater value. Dubai Police is also developing new AI systems to automate procedures, analyse data and strengthen decision-making.
The latest developments form part of a wider technology strategy aimed at supporting the future of policing in Dubai.
36 Robots Support Dubai Police Operations
Dubai Police’s robotics ecosystem currently includes 36 robots operating across different tasks and administrative functions. In particular, the force aims to use automation to improve efficiency while reducing time spent on repetitive work.
Additionally, the General Department of Artificial Intelligence completed 104 strategic and operational projects during the past year. These initiatives support a broader effort to integrate modern technology across different policing sectors.
Dubai Police is also advancing an AI transformation plan covering police, administrative and operational activities. Consequently, the plan aims to turn data into practical tools that support faster and more informed decisions.
At the same time, proactive solutions are being developed to improve response times, operational performance and service quality.
Furthermore, Dubai Police is developing an AI platform to strengthen its technology-driven working environment. The platform will support smart solutions, analyse data, automate procedures and provide intelligent tools for employees and customers.
The wider strategy focuses on increasing efficiency, speed and accuracy across police operations. Meanwhile, the approach combines advanced technology with specialised human expertise as digital capabilities continue to expand.
Smart Police Stations Gain AI Capabilities
Dubai Police is also developing a smart assistant for its Smart Police Stations (SPS). The project will support the next generation of police stations through AI-powered technologies and automated services.
In addition, the system aims to make security and policing services easier, faster and more flexible. It will also improve customer experience by simplifying access to services through an integrated platform available around the clock.
Meanwhile, Dubai Police has reported strong reliability across its digital infrastructure. During the current year, public services recorded a 99.97 per cent continuity rate, while systems achieved 99.92 per cent continuity.
Therefore, these figures highlight the readiness of the force’s technology infrastructure and its capacity to maintain critical services.
Moreover, the General Department of Artificial Intelligence reported seven awards and certificates of recognition for its projects and initiatives. The department has also registered 29 intellectual works.
These developments support Dubai Police’s wider digital transformation strategy. Additionally, the force plans to expand AI applications across operations to improve institutional performance and deliver more advanced services for residents and visitors.
AI and Robotics Continue to Shape Dubai Policing
Dubai Police has previously introduced AI-powered robotic technology into public-facing policing. In 2025, for example, the force deployed its autonomous DPR 02 robotic patrol at Global Village.
The DPR 02 can move autonomously and connect directly with the Command and Control Centre. Therefore, the system demonstrates how robotics can extend beyond administrative automation into public-facing security operations.
Overall, the deployment of 36 robots and completion of 104 technology projects highlight Dubai Police’s growing focus on technology-driven policing. Furthermore, new AI platforms and Smart Police Station initiatives demonstrate how artificial intelligence could reshape police operations and public services.
At the same time, automation aims to reduce repetitive workloads while improving efficiency and service delivery. As these technologies develop further, AI and robotics are expected to play an increasingly important role across Dubai’s policing ecosystem.
