As the capital prepares to welcome a brand-new year and the public gears up for New Year’s Eve celebrations, the city’s authorities have announced enhanced security measures to ensure public safety and a smooth experience for residents and visitors across the emirate.
With festivities set to take place across key hotspots in Abu Dhabi, the focus is firmly on maintaining order, managing traffic, and providing a secure environment for those out celebrating.
An Extensive NYE Operations Plan In Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi Police have rolled out an extensive operational plan that covers popular gathering points in the region, with hospitality and tourist attractions amongst those.
This strategy has been developed in close coordination with partners to safeguard public areas and support the surge in activity that typically accompanies New Year’s Eve security events.
Senior operations personnel have reiterated that safety remains the top priority. Officers will be visible across the city, and traffic patrols will be stepped up to help ease congestion and manage flow during peak travel times.
Members of the public have also been urged to follow the traffic laws as roads will get increasingly busy throughout the evening.
In addition to general policing efforts, New Year’s Eve security patrols have introduced strengthened protocols to reduce the risk of accidents and ensure orderly conduct throughout celebrations.
There are strong reminders against disruptive behaviour, which include reckless driving, excessive noise, and the use of prohibited party sprays that could compromise public safety.
The police Command and Control Centre has now finalised its preparations, equipping operations with the latest technology and qualified personnel to coordinate responses in real time.
Residents and visitors are encouraged to use the emergency hotline and to get in touch promptly should any urgent situations arise.
Police officials say that these intensified measures are not only to protect people but also to support a welcoming atmosphere where everyone can celebrate the New Year confidently and happily.
By promoting responsible behaviour and cooperation with security personnel, Abu Dhabi aims to strike the perfect balance between celebration and safety as 2026 draws near.
