DUBAI—The Tesla Cybertruck, which joined the Dubai Police’s prestigious fleet in June, continues to turn heads and draw crowds with its eye-catching green and white livery.

The addition of the Cybertruck to Dubai Police’s luxury patrol fleet has not only impressed locals but also captivated tourists.

The vehicle’s distinctive angular design and advanced features make it a popular photo opportunity. Residents and visitors alike have been stopping to capture images and interact with officers, contributing to a strengthened sense of community and security.

Local media outlets recently had the opportunity to view the Cybertruck up close and speak with First Lieutenant Abdullah Al Marzooqi of the Tourist Police Department.

“Whenever the Cybertruck is out on the streets, people can’t help but stop and take pictures,” Al Marzooqi told. “They’re always coming up to us with questions about the vehicle, and you can see the sense of security and excitement it brings to the public.”

The Cybertruck’s presence is particularly notable in high-traffic tourist areas such as City Walk, JBR, and various luxury hotels and malls. This unique vehicle is tasked with enhancing public interactions and providing a visible sense of security rather than engaging in traffic duties.

Dubai Police’s fleet is renowned for its array of high-performance and luxury vehicles, including models like the Lamborghini Aventador, Audi R8, Bentley Continental GT, McLaren MP4-12C, and Bugatti Veyron.

The addition of the Tesla Cybertruck to this elite lineup marks a significant shift towards incorporating cutting-edge technology and sustainability into law enforcement operations.

“The Cybertruck is not just about power and performance,” Al Marzooqi explained. “Its unique design and advanced features help us instill a strong sense of safety and security for both tourists and residents.”

The vehicle’s robust 30X cold-rolled stainless steel construction and Tesla’s Armour Glass technology provide exceptional durability and protection, reinforcing its role as a security asset.

With a driving range of up to 340 miles and the capability to tow up to 11,000 pounds, the Cybertruck meets the demanding requirements of law enforcement duties.

Additionally, its acceleration from 0 to 60 km/h in just 4.3 seconds ensures quick response times in emergencies. The vehicle is also equipped with Tesla’s Autopilot advanced driver-assistance system, offering the latest in autonomous driving technology.

The Cybertruck’s role in Dubai Police’s fleet is not limited to its technological advancements. The vehicle’s distinct appearance and advanced features play a crucial role in the department’s efforts to project a strong security presence and enhance the public’s sense of safety.

A recent encounter highlighted the Cybertruck’s impact on the public. A visitor, who was initially hesitant, approached Officer Al Marzooqi to ask if his children could take pictures with the car.

“It’s very cool. My kids were scared to approach the police car but were very curious. They were very happy to be able to talk to the officer and take pictures,” the tourist remarked.

As the Tesla Cybertruck continues to make waves on Dubai’s streets, its blend of advanced technology and eye-catching design proves to be a powerful tool for fostering community engagement and reinforcing public safety.
