The force has built up its vehicle fleet, and it's not worrying about cost, adding a Lamborghini, Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, Aston Martin, and more - some of them worth more than a million dollars.
There's little practical use for a two-seat police car - where do you keep suspects under arrest? - but the force has said the outrageous vehicles serve to "enhance its patrolling abilities."
No, that doesn't mean they're for high-speed car chases. "We have never exceeded the speed limit on the highway," Lt. Mariam Al Kaabi told Abu Dhabi's The National.
Rather, Dubai's police chief reportedly said on social media several years ago that the rides were for "acting classy with people."
