Ajman Police Deploy 55 Traffic Patrols to Secure Roads During Eid Al-Adha

Lieutenant Colonel Rashid Humaid Bin Hindi, Deputy Director of the Traffic and Patrols Department at Ajman Police, confirmed the readiness of 55 traffic patrols as part of an integrated field plan aimed at securing traffic and enhancing safety during Eid Al-Adha in the emirate. He explained that the Ajman Police General Command adopts a well-thought- out mechanism to regulate the deployment of patrols, based on analyzing data related to population density and traffic volume, to ensure flexible and rapid deployment of patrols in congested areas, such as markets, shopping malls, parks, and public squares. Surveillance cameras are used to monitor vehicle movement to determine deployment locations, taking into account sensitive periods such as rush hour and Eid prayers, especially near prayer areas. He pointed out that this intensive deployment contributes to controlling improper traffic behavior and enhancing rapid response to accidents, which increases the level of safety among community members and reduces the time required to report any traffic or security incident. The plan also focuses on protecting the most vulnerable groups, such as the elderly, children, and families, by securing vital sites and facilitating pedestrian crossings, especially around mosques and Eid prayer grounds. Bin Hindi confirmed that Ajman Police utilizes modern surveillance technologies that enable immediate communication between field teams and the operations room, ensuring rapid intervention in any emergency. He emphasized that these efforts directly impact the public's sense of security and enhance the effectiveness of the traffic system in protecting all segments of society. He pointed out that the holiday period typically witnesses an increase in traffic density and movement, which requires high security preparedness. He noted that field indicators over the past years in Ajman have proven the effectiveness of traffic patrols, demonstrating a positive public response and greater adherence to laws, reflected in a clear decrease in traffic-related accidents and reports. He also pointed out that the awareness campaigns implemented by the Ajman Police General Command, along with the traffic officers' keenness to treat the public in a respectful manner, have effectively contributed to consolidating the concept of preventive security and enhancing confidence in traffic patrols as a supportive body for the security and safety of society, not just a regulatory body. He pointed out that this positive interaction from community members has led to increased rates of compliance with laws and a reduction in traffic violations, which has contributed to creating a safe and stable environment during special occasions. He explained that traffic patrols will begin their field deployment from the early hours of the morning of the first day of Eid, as part of an integrated readiness plan aimed at ensuring smooth traffic flow and enhancing protection for all road users.
