Dubai Police unveiled the Hongqi E-HS9, an electric luxury SUV, at the Intersec security show. The vehicle will join its patrol fleet. The E-HS9 is equipped with a high-resolution camera, GPS, and a communication system. It can go from 0 to 100km/h in five seconds. The battery can be charged from zero to 100 per cent in 6-8 hours. The vehicle can travel around 440km on a single charge.
Another asset on show is a rescue vehicle designed for challenging missions and handling car accidents, equipped with a crane and equipment for various terrains. The vehicle is capable of “quick and efficient rescue operations in any situation”, Dubai Police said. Visitors to the Dubai Police stand also have the opportunity to learn about the department’s Smart Police Stations, which feature a virtual reality system that allow users to file complaints and report crimes in an interactive way.
Dubai Police are also showcasing their Aviation Security Risks Analysis and Evaluation Centre. This centre is dedicated to identifying and mitigating potential security risks at Dubai’s airports and ensuring the safety of passengers and staff.
Col Eisa Muhammad Al Mutawa, Director of the Corporate Identity and Exhibitions Department at the General Department of Community Happiness, said: “Dubai Police are committed to using technology and innovation to enhance public safety and security. Our participation [at Intersec] is a great opportunity to share our latest projects and showcase how we are constantly striving to enhance our policing capabilities.”
