Dubai Police return lost items worth Dh26m to travellers

Dubai Police: Dubai Police, through the General Department of Airport Security, successfully returned lost items valued at Dh26 million to their rightful owners in 2024.

This achievement is a result of diligent efforts by the department’s teams, who efficiently handled lost item reports through an advanced lost-and-found system.

The Airport Security teams maintained consistent communication with individuals reporting lost items, ensuring the prompt return of belongings in line with Dubai Police’s mission to create a safer and more secure environment for all.

Brigadier Hamoudah Al Suwaidi Al Ameri, Director of the General Department of Airport Security, highlighted Dubai’s multicultural identity and its dedication to promoting safety and well-being within its community.

“Dubai champions the values of tolerance, coexistence, and social responsibility. As one of the world’s most sought-after destinations, Dubai International Airport is the busiest hub, handling over 92 million travel movements in 2024, including transit passengers, and arrivals. With such high traffic, many cases of lost luggage, including valuable items and cash, are inevitable,” he added.

Brigadier Al Ameri reiterated Dubai Police’s commitment to creating a sense of security and trust among travellers. “Over the years, the General Department of Airport Security has built a strong reputation locally and globally for providing outstanding service to travellers. We continually enhance our services to meet the needs of all airport users. Our lost and found system plays a key role in ensuring that belongings are returned to their rightful owners, no matter where they are in the world,” he added.
