Too smart car to chase criminals. I think the helicopter will be more effective chasing criminals than on such an expensive car. Criminals may have the idea of hijacking such an expensive car and playing in the race In general, money should be allowed to develop the economy in order to reduce crime.

That is why Dubai is one of the most safest place for investment both in financial, Accommodation and Technology. The fastest police vehicles will enable to arrest criminal and even stop criminal before acting. The whole world should imitate Dubai as they have built something from nothing.
I don't know the living cost there or anything but I kept seeing posts from some of my friends how awesome Dubai is and how it's great to live there. I think some governments would prefer to use that money in something else rather than a car that's a million times to someones payroll.The best thing about Dubai is that they don't have income tax, VAT or capital gains tax. The living expenses are quite reasonable as well. The only thing is that you need to respect the local traditions and customs. After all, it is a Sunni Muslim Arab monarchy.

Well that could also be the reason why KSA was hit harder. From what I remember from people I know, the state subsidize a lot of things there, including utilities like water as well as other stuff, like college. I wonder now, is it the same throughout the Middle East? Coz if not, then that could be one reason KSA is bleeding out more cash. And maybe maintaining the monarchy as well? Or maybe UAE is not so much dependent on oil?
The KSA wastes a lot of money on lavish subsidies, but another burden is the extravagant handouts given to the royal family members. The royal family consists of almost 200,000 members, and each of them receive a fixed monthly salary ranging from $2,000 to $20 million per month.
Amazing, with this car certainly makes dubai police would be easy to catch criminals, I hope that my country can also imitate the dubai police.

I would agree with people that it looks more like an excessive expense and that the money could have been used for better things. It's not like the UAE was not affected by the last oil slump. They seem to be doing better than Saudi Arabia though.
The difference between the UAE and KSA is that the former chose to spend its petrodollars wisely. They invested in low risk assets, and refrained from splashing around their money. Also, the total (citizen) population of UAE is only around 1.1 million, which is just 5% of that of the KSA.

Now if thats the case. I woild rather buy thst brand? Lol. Well in the first place police car should be really much faster than any of those lambu or ferrari. I would find it very funny when a police officer is only having a cheap car while those gangster that they were running after has audi
Do they really need these many ultra-expensive vehicles to catch the law breakers? For me, it sounds more like a desperate attempt to show off their wealth (at times when the local economy is suffering due to the crash in the crude oil prices). They should not waste their money like this. The future generations will curse them for this much extravagance.
I could answer with a question too. Therefore, also do they need to be the home of the largest shopping mall in the world? Of course they don't need these ultra expensive cars and the biggest and more luxurious mall in the world but when all the other things are so expensive and had made for very rich people the local government have to spend money for police cars and any other public infrastructure or services too.
That is crazy fast. But is it really necessary?

The rationale I usually see people give for these purchases is that many people in Dubai own fast cars and that they'd need these police cars to go after them. I suppose there's some truth to that. The number one killer in Saudi Arabia is car accident. Apparently the oil money got up to the brains of some people there that they'd do all these stupid stunts on their cars. It would probably be a pain for the police to catch up to them with slower cars.
LOL. with those handsome cars, they don't need to catch them, they'll come on their own.

Of course police will use the car to catch more criminals.

Nowhere else in the world can you hail a police car and snap a selfie with the driver.
Nowhere else in the world is that police car likely to be a Bugatti Veyron, Ferrarri FF or Lamborghini Aventador. This is Dubai, where the police force has just been presented with a certificate by Guinness World Records for having the world's fastest police car in service -- a Bugatti Veyron -- just one of its 14-strong fleet of supercars.
A fleet of luxury supercars may sound outlandish, but it fits perfectly with the ethos of Dubai.
In a city where to turn heads your Bentley or Rolls Royce needs to be wrapped in gold, it seems normal for the police force to have a suite of supercars at its disposal.
The fleet includes a bespoke Aston Martin One-77, of which only 77 were ever built, a Bentley Continental GT, three hybrid Porsche Panameras and two BMW i8s.

Well, Its useful to the police officers to catch the law breakers but one problem is that the police officer cannot handle that kind of speed they will get an accident or get killed or any matter its really risky they need to train hard to handle that kind of speed if they use it in a chasing of law breakers
That's the perks for being one of the richest country in the world. Police there must be very very happy having super car to chase violators. But what if you are going to chase is another super car as well? They should train the driver who uses this fast cars on how to chase another car without getting in a accident. It could also a deterrent for criminals knowing that the police has one of the fastest car in the world to chase them in case they make a crime in Dubai

It is always possible to achieve the effect of a more expensive copy and acceptable way. It seems to me that it is made just for pretty pictures. I see no effect from the fact that the police will chase criminals on supercars. All other countries solve these problems much cheaper.
They are never going to chase down the criminals using these vehicles. Imagine a police car racing at 250 kmph through the busy streets of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. It will be a blood bath, especially if they do it during peak hours.

Yeah I don't really see a need for this kind of police car and I'd have to follow you on this one bud, it's really just a waste of money on their part and the people within Dubai should be mad about the blatant waste of government spending.
Do Criminals really try to go down the street at a roaring 200 MPH that you need a car that goes this fast? No, unless you're going to be fighting career racing criminals then this is just a waste of money and should be sold ASAP.
If police cars are very fast then the reason is simple it is to increase the police force efficiency. If police cars are slow then the criminals will laugh at them and say eat my dust. Dubai has made a good decision to make the speed of cars much faster so that police enforcement will be much faster and catching criminals will be easy. In the end it way it will reduce crimInality and will make Dubai a much safer place to live in.
Bud, you're just dumb.
Lets all buy fast cars and waste the entire police budget on it and not worry about anything else. Sound like a good idea? NO
Good for them but where I have issues is that, is the motive of government with this car to stop crime or to prevent it? Because if the motive is to prevent, then there is no need for extremely fast cars when its not a racing competition and even how many criminals can even afford such cars? Its a good initiative at least to generate the fear that you can never get away from the police.
