Motorbike ambulances unveiled
Abu Dhabi Police to deploy 10 emergency patrol vehicles especially designed for the desert
Abu Dhabi Police have introduced ten new motorbike ambulances to be used as part of the forces’ fleet of first responder patrol vehicles.
The motorbike ambulances are specially designed for the desert. These ambulance bikes, called “Spiders”, were launched at the Armed Forces Officers Club yesterday.
These motorcycles can enter crowded and narrow streets where other ambulance vehicles find hard to access.
Major-General Mohammad Khalfan Al Rumaithi, Commander-in-Chief of Abu Dhabi Police, said the off-road motorbikes are equipped with the latest medical equipment and innovative solutions, including hydraulic technology (cutters), fire extinguishers and an automated external defibrillator that will help emergency personnel respond more efficiently to accidents and ensure the safety of victims.
During the unveiling of the motorbikes, Brigadier-General Ali Khalfan Al Daheri, director of the police’s Central Operations Sector, said the latest additions are part of the force’s continuous efforts to enhance the public’s confidence and provide high quality services.
“Abu Dhabi Police are always at the forefront in utilising the best quality response vehicles to help overcome the challenges of emergency tasks, and harnessing the best techniques and solutions,” he said.
“The introduction of motorbike ambulance patrols are one of many initiatives by Abu Dhabi Police, which seek to enhance the public’s confidence through the provision of high quality police services in line with the best practices in the field so as to ensure that the emirate continues to be a safe and secure society,” he added.
