Sharjah’s emergency teams reached every call within their target window during 2025, hitting a full 100 per cent response rate, one of several figures police leaders examined while assessing how the emirate performed across its latest quality-of-life measurements.
Those measurements, compiled by the Department of Statistics and Community Development, placed the emirate’s safety index at 99.7 per cent for the year. Major General Abdullah Mubarak bin Amer, Commander-in-Chief of Sharjah Police, described the standing as evidence that the emirate’s broad development approach is working.
He tied the outcome to the governing vision of His Highness Dr Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, and credited the backing of Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and Chairman of the Executive Council.
Residents reported high levels of personal security throughout the day and after dark. The data put daytime confidence at 99.8 per cent and the sense of safety at home during the night at 99.7 per cent. Walking alone outdoors after dark drew a slightly lower figure of 98.7 per cent.
Public trust in the force itself ran along similar lines. Confidence in the police’s capacity to fight crime and satisfaction with its preventive work each landed at 99 per cent, with the same proportion expressing approval of how victims of crime are supported.
On the roads, the figures pointed to safer conditions, with deaths per 100,000 residents falling by 16 per cent compared with earlier counts.
The session, the council’s fifth gathering of 2026, brought together directors-general, their deputies and department heads. Beyond the headline statistics, attendees went through results in family protection, community responsibility and environmental work, areas that police leaders said strengthen the emirate’s position as a benchmark for stability and daily living standards.
