Video: ‘Most expensive' Rolls Royce joins Dubai Police's tourist patrol fleet
Dubai: Dubai Police has unveiled a new addition to its tourist patrol fleet – a majestic Rolls-Royce that is turning heads and stealing the spotlight at the Arabian Travel Market 2025.
Known for its opulence, the Rolls-Royce takes on a new role of being an ambassador of Dubai's world-class tourism and safety services. With a price tag ranging from Dh2 million to Dh3 million, it is the most expensive luxury vehicle in Dubai Police's awe-inspiring arsenal of supercars, which already includes icons like the Tesla Cybertruck, Lamborghini, and Ferrari.
'This will be the most expensive vehicle in our tourist patrol fleet. You will find this Rolls-Royce on the streets of popular tourist sites across the city like Dubai Frame, Dubai Mall, museums, and heritage sites,' a police officer told Gulf News.
Since being displayed at the event, the car has attracted curious visitors who have been taking selfies and recording videos. But the Rolls-Royce is more than just a showstopper – it's a strategic addition aimed at engaging with tourists both in the city and abroad.
'This car is not just staying in Dubai. We will even take it outside the country. Tourists can take photos with it. It's about making our services more accessible.'
By making appearances at iconic landmarks, the luxury patrol fleet enhances Dubai's image as a premier destination and helps educate visitors about the various police services available to them.

Norris leads McLaren 1-2 in Austrian GP practice session
Lando Norris bounced back from his Canadian catastrophe to top the times ahead of team-mate and championship leader Oscar Piastri as McLaren reeled off a commanding 1-2 in second practice on Friday at the Austrian Grand Prix. Norris, who sat out the first session at the Red Bull Ring, clocked a best lap in one minute and 4.580 seconds to beat Piastri by 0.157 seconds with four-time champion Max Verstappen third fastest for Red Bull, adrift by 0.318 seconds. For Norris, it was a relief to move on from his collision with team-mate Piastri in Montreal where he retired pointless, admitting he had 'made a fool of myself'. Lance Stroll was fourth for Aston Martin ahead of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, George Russell of Mercedes, who won last year and two weeks ago in Canada, and Yuki Tsunoda in the second Red Bull. Gabriel Bortoleto was eighth for Sauber ahead of two-time champion Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin and seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton, struggling in his updated Ferrari. After much paddock speculation linking Verstappen with a move to Mercedes, the session began with Colapinto and Ocon leading the way in near-perfect conditions at the picturesque, and historic, circuit set in the Styrian Alps. McLaren's Lando Norris speaks to the media after practice. Reuters Russell, fastest in the morning, was soon on top again, but it was the McLarens of Piastri and Norris that proved they had found more pace amid the rising temperatures, with the air at 26 degrees Celsius and track at 34. Having missed the morning session, when Irish reserve driver Alex Dunne proved his huge potential by finishing fourth, Norris swept to the top after 10 minutes shortly before Leclerc, also back after sitting out the first practice, ran off at Turn Six and his Ferrari team-mate Hamilton reported he had 'no pace' in his updated car. Norris stayed on top, trimming his time, before switching to softs with 'papaya' team-mate Piastri slotting in second. Stroll was third, four-tenths adrift ahead of the chasing pack including 'man of the moment' Russell. 'He has been part of our programme for 10 years,' said Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff of Russell. Mercedes confirm Verstappen talks: 'He's always performed to expectations and continues to do so. 'These kind of contract discussions end up accelerated in the media, but it's normal business. Contracts discussions are not held in Town Halls. All is going to plan.' Wolff confirmed he was in contact with Verstappen, but suggested it was not in his mind to replace Russell and stressed that he was also very happy also with Antonelli. Thus most seasoned observers regarded the speculation as merely exploratory. The Dutchman is contracted to Red Bull until 2028, but with release clauses - that may relate to a possible exit by adviser Helmut Marko amid claims that he could be replaced by four-time champion Sebastian Vettel. On track, Verstappen delayed his entry by 12 minutes and worked his way into contention, but with 15 minutes remaining he was adrift of the two McLarens by three-tenths with Mercedes and Ferrari struggling to keep pace.
