UAE: From Bugatti Veyron to Rolls-Royce, why Dubai Police uses world's fastest, most luxurious supercars
In most parts of the world, police cars are designed for utility, not spectacle. In Dubai, however, they are a statement. Since 2013, the Dubai Police force has rewritten the playbook on law enforcement visibility by curating a vehicle fleet that looks more like an elite car show than a motor pool.
With Lamborghinis, Bugattis, Rolls-Royces, and even a flying hoverbike, the Dubai Police fleet represents a unique blend of security, branding, and futuristic thinking.
The Vision Behind the Vehicles
The transformation began in April 2013 with the induction of a Lamborghini Aventador into the police force. This was not simply about performance,it was about perception. The goal was clear: to elevate the image of Dubai as a global city of innovation, prosperity, and forward-thinking governance.
Today, that vision is fully realized through a vehicle collection that symbolizes prestige, discipline, and a new form of civic engagement.
Dubai's roads are filled with high-performance vehicles owned by residents and tourists alike. To maintain authority and presence in such an environment, law enforcement vehicles had to match the city's personality. These cars are strategically deployed in high-profile locations such as Downtown Dubai, Jumeirah Beach Residence, Dubai Mall, the Palm Jumeirah, and international expos,where they serve more as ambassadors than enforcers.

Committee urges action against school vehicles flouting rules
Mangaluru: The SDMC coordination committee has written to the regional transport office (RTO) in Dakshina Kannada to take action against school vehicles flouting rules while ferrying students across the district. The committee has complained that the departments and officials concerned are blind to the violations and must act against them. Following a formal complaint by the SDMC coordination committee regarding school vehicles flouting safety regulations to the Mangaluru RTO, the Mangaluru East traffic police acted swiftly, booking 49 vehicles and collecting fines amounting to Rs 9,800, recently. Complaints have been registered in other police stations too. Mohiuddin Kutty, president of the association, said that both private vehicles and those owned by private educational institutions often violate safety norms by carrying students beyond the permissible limit. "In rural areas, I have personally seen autorickshaws crammed with 10-12 children. Similarly, private school buses are often overcrowded, with students forced to stand while travelling," he said. The association has written to RTOs across the district, urging strict action against such violations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Book Your Daily Profit By 11 AM With This Superclass By Mr. Bala TradeWise Learn More Undo "While enforcement drives are conducted following complaints, they usually last only a few days before the focus shifts to helmetless riding, seatbelt checks, and other issues. Both the RTO and police departments must carry out regular checks to curb these violations," he stressed. He added that last year, the district witnessed multiple incidents where vehicles ferrying schoolchildren met with accidents. They are overloaded and lack valid documents, especially insurance and others. A traffic police personnel said violations in city limits are less compared to rural areas. "In city limits, parents are aware of overcrowding and expect the autorickshaw driver not to transport more than six children at a time. Also, there is a school vehicle owners association which keeps an eye on violators. We are checking from time to time by conducting drives. It will be done regularly once the rain subsides," police said.
