Global Village opens on Oct 14, 2026: How Dubai Police is working to ensure your safety

Dubai Police has been working diligently to ensure the safety and security of visitors and residents at the reopening of Global Village on October 14, 2026. To prepare for this event, the General Department of Traffic at Dubai Police organized specialized training workshops for 49 supervisors and security guards. These sessions aim to equip the guards with the skills necessary to efficiently manage traffic situations, organize traffic flow, and handle minor traffic accidents effectively.

Brigadier Essam Ibrahim Al Awar, Acting Director of the General Department of Traffic at Dubai Police, explained that these workshops align with the department's plan to train security guards at private institutions. By doing so, Dubai Police hopes to reduce response times to emergency reports, minimize the need for traffic patrols at minor accident sites, and enhance the overall sense of security and safety among community members.

The workshops covered a range of practical topics, including the duties and obligations of traffic officers on the road, methods for organizing traffic flow using officer signals and the traffic whistle, procedures for reporting and handling traffic violations, skills for dealing with the public and road users, and the correct procedures for managing minor traffic accident scenes. Additionally, the training program included a practical scenario simulating a minor traffic accident.

Brigadier Al Awar emphasized Dubai Police's commitment to strengthening partnerships and cooperation with various institutions and entities. The department aims to raise the efficiency of security personnel through training, awareness programs, and the promotion of traffic culture. This, in turn, encourages compliance with traffic rules and regulations and the utilization of smart services offered by Dubai Police.
