Dubai Police has added another impressive achievement to its growing list of accolades after securing 16 awards at the Dubai Quality Group Awards 2026.
The awards were announced during the organisation’s annual ceremony, which recognised outstanding government and private sector entities from across the UAE and the wider Gulf region. For Dubai Police, the recognition highlights years of work aimed at improving public services, encouraging innovation and introducing smarter solutions that benefit residents and visitors alike.
As Dubai continues to strengthen its position as one of the world’s leading smart cities, the latest awards show how government entities are playing a key role in driving that vision forward.
A wide range of achievements recognised
The awards covered several categories, including innovation, artificial intelligence, community initiatives, healthcare, sustainability and continuous improvement.
Dubai Police received honours through programmes such as the Emirates Women Award, Ideas Arabia International Award, Global Continual Improvement Award, UAE Ideas Award and UAE Innovation Award.
The recognition reflects the organisation’s efforts across multiple areas rather than a single project, demonstrating how innovation has become part of its day-to-day operations.
Women from Dubai Police among the winners
Two female employees from Dubai Police were recognised for their contributions during the awards programme.
Engineer Abrar Abdul Hakim Ahmed received an award in the Young Employee category under the Emirates Women Award, while Aisha Hassan Ibrahim Al Hosani was honoured for her contributions to community service.
The awards highlight the growing role of women across government sectors in the UAE, particularly in areas such as leadership, innovation and public service.
Community-focused initiatives earn top honours
Several Dubai Police projects designed to support residents and improve quality of life received recognition.
Among them was the “Support Families of the Deceased” initiative, which won in the Customer Happiness category. The programme focuses on providing practical support and assistance to families during difficult times.
Another winning initiative, “Basmat Shifa” or “Smile of Healing”, received recognition in the Health and Safety category.
The Dubai Police Innovation Team was also named Best Innovative Team, recognising the group’s efforts in developing practical solutions that improve services and operations.
Research and innovation continue to play a key role
Innovation remains a major focus for Dubai Police, and several individual achievements were recognised during the ceremony.
Colonel Ahmed Hassan Al Hafeeti and First Corporal Mohammed Saleh Mohammed Balbaheith received awards for their contributions to innovation within the organisation.
Meanwhile, Captain Abdulrahman Hussain Al Janahi was honoured for his research study on the analysis and classification of homemade explosives evidence.
The recognition reflects Dubai Police’s increasing investment in research, specialised training and advanced investigative techniques that support public safety.
Smart technology projects receive recognition
Dubai Police also secured awards for projects linked to digital transformation and smart government services.
One of the recognised initiatives was the “Smart Explosives Escort” project, which won in the Smart Government and Digital Transformation category.
Another award went to a study focused on improving traffic accident response readiness through gaming and simulation-based training at Dubai Police Academy.
The force was also recognised for projects that improve emergency response times and introduce new approaches to crime scene investigation using immersive technology.
These initiatives align with Dubai’s wider ambition to use technology and innovation to create faster, more efficient and resident-focused government services.
A milestone that reflects Dubai’s bigger vision
For residents, these awards represent more than institutional recognition.
Many of the winning projects are directly linked to improving public services, enhancing safety, supporting families, strengthening emergency response capabilities and creating better experiences for the community.
Dubai Police has long been recognised as one of the region’s most innovative law enforcement organisations, and these latest achievements further reinforce its commitment to excellence, technology and community wellbeing.
