Dubai Police to partner with Tesla, Microsoft, Interpol for 2030 strategy

Dubai: Dubai Police is joining forces with international heavyweights Tesla, Microsoft, Interpol, Waymo, and Stanford University as part of its ambitious 2025–2030 strategy to revolutionise police mobility using AI and smart technologies.

Announced at the recent World Police Summit 2025 held in Dubai and created by the General Department of Transport and Rescue, the strategy is designed to modernise how Dubai Police moves and responds to incidents. It makes use of artificial intelligence, predictive tools, and agile systems aligned with the “Policing 5.0” model and Dubai Police’s 2031 Vision.

The goal is to build a smart, fast, and flexible system that helps police deal with challenges more efficiently and stay ahead of future needs.

Engineer Major Omar Al Khaja, Director of the Centre, said the new strategy shows Dubai Police’s dedication to using innovation and technology to improve security systems.

He explained that the plan fits well with the UAE’s goals, such as the Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2031, the Smart Mobility Strategy, and the Dubai Urban Master Plan 2040. “This helps Dubai prepare for future needs and keeps us as leaders in smart and sustainable policing,” he said.

The strategy includes 18 projects, grouped into four main areas:

Better Emergency Response – Creating smart systems to improve how quickly and effectively police respond.

Innovation in Security – Using AI and data to support smarter police work.

Planning Ahead – Predicting risks and preparing for future challenges.

Developing Talent – Training future leaders with new skills through an Advanced Capabilities Lab.

Captain Engineer Muhammad Zainal, Head of the Future Mobility Sciences Section, called the strategy “a forward-looking plan to improve how police operate.” He said the focus is on data, AI, and smart decision-making to create a flexible and strong mobility system.

Zainal also mentioned that Dubai Police is looking to work with international leaders like Interpol, Tesla, Waymo, Microsoft, and Stanford University.

This partnership model will feature forward-looking planning tools, virtual testing environments, advanced simulation and training programmes, and an agile governance system built around phased evaluation and impact measurement.

Senior Engineer Abrar Abdul Hakim added that this strategy is about making advanced technology part of everyday police operations. “We want innovation to be a normal part of how we work—not just a big idea, but something we use daily,” she said.

“This plan gives us a clear path to build a smart, sustainable, and future-ready police system.”
