Dubai Police trained supervisors and security personnel on traffic flow management and minor accident procedures ahead of the seasonal opening.
Global Village Dubai reopens October 14, 2026, following specialized traffic management training for 49 supervisors and security personnel. Dubai Police's General Department of Traffic organized the workshops to prepare staff for managing traffic flow and handling minor accidents at the entertainment destination. The training programme was announced by Dubai Police via social media ahead of the seasonal opening.
Training programme for traffic management#
The General Department of Traffic at Dubai Police conducted workshops covering four areas: the duties and obligations of traffic officers on the road, mechanisms for organizing traffic flow using officer signals and the traffic whistle, correct procedures for handling minor traffic accident sites, and how to use the Dubai Police smart app to submit minor accident reports. Brigadier Essam Ibrahim Al Awar, Acting Director of the General Department of Traffic, stated the workshops align with the department's plan to train security guards at private institutions. The programme included a practical scenario simulating a minor traffic accident, allowing participants to apply the procedures in a controlled environment.
Objectives of the security training#
The workshops aim to reduce response time to emergency reports, decrease the need for traffic patrols to attend minor accident sites, and enhance security among visitors and residents. Brigadier Essam Al Awar stated the training is part of Dubai Police's approach to strengthen partnership and cooperation with various institutions and entities. The programme raises the efficiency of security personnel through training and awareness initiatives that help spread traffic culture, enhance compliance with traffic rules and regulations, and encourage the use of smart services provided by Dubai Police. The trained personnel will manage traffic situations at the venue during the operating season.
Global Village seasonal operations#
Global Village operates as a seasonal family entertainment destination in Dubai. The October 14 opening marks the start of the 2026 season. The venue requires coordinated traffic management due to visitor volumes during its operating period. Dubai Police confirmed the training programme supports operational readiness for the seasonal opening. The 49 trained supervisors and security guards will be deployed at the site to handle traffic flow and minor incidents without requiring patrol attendance for routine matters.
