Brigadier Dr Ahmed Saeed Al Naour, Director General of Operations and Security Support, stated that the plan includes increased security and traffic patrols across the emirate, with special focus on key areas and locations hosting major events and celebrations. This includes the launch of fireworks at Al Heera Corniche, Al Buhaira Corniche, Khorfakkan Corniche, and other public facilities, as well as monitoring traffic on external roads to maintain smooth flow and protect both lives and property.
Sharjah Police will also use all available resources and advanced smart technologies, including state-of-the-art monitoring and communication systems, to support traffic security operations. These efforts aim to ensure quick responses to emergencies at all times.
Additionally, there will be close coordination with key partners such as Sharjah City Municipality, Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority, Sharjah Roads and Transport Authority, and Rafid Vehicle Solutions Company.
Brigadier Al Naour called on the public to cooperate with security personnel at celebration sites, follow their instructions, and heed traffic guidance to ensure their safety and avoid congestion. He also emphasised that all teams are ready to handle complaints and reports professionally.
Emergency reports can be made through 999, while non-emergency reports can be made through 901, to help maintain a high level of security and public safety.
