In a major push towards smarter mobility and enhanced public services, Dubai Police has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Parkin PJSC, the largest provider of public parking facilities in Dubai. The collaboration aims to digitally connect Dubai Police’s traffic management systems with Parkin’s advanced smart parking and payment platforms.
The MoU was signed during GITEX Global 2025, held at the Dubai World Trade Centre, by Brigadier Issam Ibrahim Al Awar, Acting Director of the General Department of Traffic at Dubai Police, and Mohamed Abdullah Al Ali, CEO of Parkin. The signing ceremony was attended by senior officers and representatives from both organisations.

According to a report by WAM, the agreement is aimed at achieving full digital integration between the two entities, ensuring seamless data exchange, and significantly improving the quality and efficiency of services offered to the public.
Brigadier Al Awar stated that the initiative reflects Dubai Police’s commitment, under the leadership of Lieutenant General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, commander-in-chief of Dubai Police, to enhance collaboration with both public and private sector entities. He added that such partnerships are crucial to supporting Dubai’s digital transformation agenda.
Real-time enforcement and smarter traffic planning
The integration will enable real-time information exchange, allowing both organisations to utilise advanced technologies to improve traffic and parking management. The system will facilitate instant, secure communication, enabling faster decision-making based on accurate data.
A key benefit of this integration is that it will allow Dubai Police to identify vehicles with outstanding fines or seizure orders the moment they enter Parkin-managed parking facilities. This capability will empower officers to take immediate legal action. The system will also aid in detecting vehicles involved in criminal or traffic-related cases, further strengthening law enforcement efforts on Dubai’s roads.
“This project is a big step forward for road safety in Dubai,” said Brigadier Al Awar. “It will improve monitoring, ensure compliance with traffic laws, and reduce cases of unpaid fines or unlicensed vehicles on the road, all of which contribute to a safer and happier city.”
Echoing the sentiment, Mohamed Abdullah Al Ali, CEO of Parkin, emphasised the importance of the collaboration in enhancing urban mobility. “We’re proud to partner with Dubai Police on this important initiative. Together, we aim to make parking and traffic management smarter, safer, and more efficient for everyone,” he said.
Al Ali added that the partnership underscores Parkin’s commitment to innovation and aligns with Dubai’s vision to become one of the world’s smartest and most sustainable cities.
