Dubai Police are bolstering patrols over the Eid Al Fitr holiday to ensure celebrations are enjoyed safely.
Extra security measures and personnel will be deployed at mosques and prayer grounds across the Emirate, alongside shopping malls and tourist attractions.
Major General Abdullah Ali Al Ghaithi, Assistant Commander-in-Chief for Operations Affairs and Head of the Events Security Committee, also urged the public to adhere to speed limits on roads, avoid high-speed driving and pay attention to children in public places and beaches.
He further warned families not to allow their children to play with fireworks during Eid, due to the danger of causing burns and permanent disabilities. He said fireworks can also lead to fires that threaten lives and property, causing material and environmental damage.
Al Ghaithi confirmed the readiness of the Command and Control Centre to receive emergency reports 24|7, ensuring the swift arrival of specialised police teams. He reminded the public to call 901 for non-emergency cases and 999 for emergencies or use the "Police Eye" service via Dubai Police smart app to report any observations or violations.
