Dubai Police put up a video on social media, over the weekend, displaying their riot management skills.
The video shows a group of a large group of men posing as protesters in a ground, dressed in colourful jumpsuits. Within seconds two armoured vehicles, several riot control trucks and police - armed with their patrol bicycles press into action.
The video shows policemen moving into position, while vehicles cordon off the perimeter.
The next moment the cops charge at the protesters, and the situation is diffused in no time.
The impressive display was put up on the occasion of Dubai Police's graduation ceremony of the Advanced Riot force in assistance with South Korean Police.
The ceremony was presided over by Major General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-in-Chief of the Dubai Police.
Earlier, the force had held a similar exercise last year, but what was unique about this year's exercise was that the force put to the test their new patrol bicycles by incorporating them in their riot handling training.
In the video, a preview of the riot handling team's training can also be seen, with the Korean trainer putting them through the paces.

Here's the full video:


The course was organised in coordination and collaboration with the South Korean Police.
During the ceremony, Al Marri expressed his sincerest gratitude to the Korean Police for their unwavering and continuous support to the Dubai Police.
