Sharjah Police has announced a comprehensive security and traffic strategy ahead of Eid Al Adha, aimed at ensuring public safety, smooth mobility and a calm festive environment across the emirate.
The plan, developed in coordination with relevant authorities, includes increased patrol deployment and heightened monitoring around mosques, key roads and public gathering areas. Command centres will oversee traffic flow in real time, while field teams will be positioned to respond quickly to incidents or disruptions during the holiday period.
Brigadier Omar Al Ghazal, Director General of the General Department of Operations and Security Support, said the approach focuses on prevention and rapid response to maintain order throughout the celebrations.
He noted that surveillance efforts will be strengthened to discourage behaviours that could disrupt public convenience, including illegal parking near mosques, markets and entertainment zones, as well as unlawful activities such as begging that may affect traffic and public comfort.
The plan also places emphasis on residential security, with residents encouraged to secure their homes properly before travelling. Authorities urged the public to ensure doors, windows and valuables are safely protected to reduce the risk of incidents during the holiday.
Special attention has also been given to child safety, particularly in swimming areas and at beaches, where awareness campaigns will reinforce the importance of constant supervision to prevent accidents.
Sharjah Police further reminded the public to report emergencies via 999 and non-emergency concerns via 901, ensuring timely assistance throughout the Eid period.
