Sharjah Police has announced the implementation of a comprehensive security and traffic plan in preparation for the 27th night of Ramadan and the upcoming Eid Al-Fitr celebrations. The plan aims to enhance public safety, regulate traffic movement, and ensure smooth mobility across the emirate, contributing to a safe and stable environment and improving quality of life for the community.
The strategy is based on an integrated security, traffic, and community framework that include increasing the deployment of police and traffic patrols on main roads, key intersections, and vital locations. Special attention will also be given to areas surrounding mosques that witness large numbers of worshippers during Taraweeh, Tahajjud, and Eid prayers, particularly on the 27th night of Ramadan, to manage vehicle entry and exit effectively.
In addition, security presence and traffic monitoring will be intensified in markets and shopping centers, which typically experience increased activity in the final days of Ramadan. These measures aim to reduce congestion and enhance road safety across the emirate.
Sharjah Police has mobilized all available resources, supported by qualified personnel and advanced smart technologies, including surveillance systems, to ensure rapid field response and the efficient handling of incidents and reports.
Brigadier Staff Omar Al Ghazal Al Shamsi, Director General of the General Directorate of Operations and Security Support, stated that the plan reflects Sharjah Police’s proactive approach to strengthening security readiness during religious and social occasions. He emphasized that field teams are working within an integrated system to provide the highest levels of safety and security, while maintaining close coordination with strategic government partners to ensure the plan’s success through effective cooperation and knowledge sharing.
Brigadier Al Shamsi also stressed that maintaining safety is a shared responsibility that requires community cooperation. He urged the public to follow traffic instructions, closely supervise children, and prevent them from using fireworks or engaging in unsafe behaviors that could put themselves or others at risk.
Community members were encouraged to contact 901 for non-emergency inquiries and 999 for emergencies. The public was also urged to report any activities that may threaten community safety, reinforcing the spirit of partnership and contributing to a secure and reassuring environment across Sharjah.
