From freeing up public space to monitoring/ State Police presents measures for

To guarantee order and security during the 2025 summer season, the State Police has drafted and is implementing a detailed plan of measures, which aims to ensure security in coastal, lake and river areas, facilitate traffic at border crossing points, prevent road accidents and criminal activities, enforce the music curfew, and protect the environment and tourist areas.

Unlike last year, this year the 12-hour service will only be applied in coastal areas. Additional services will be sent to assist local police, which will be compensated according to the relevant legislation.

In line with the plan, the following have been made available:

-Dozens of vehicles and motorbikes to increase readiness and rapid response;

-Police officers on bicycles patrolling beaches, to strengthen community policing and provide assistance to holidaymakers;

-Marine Police Unit for the control and punishment of dangerous navigation within prohibited areas;

-Drones that will be used by police services to control the security perimeter on beaches, as well as to identify and punish traffic violations.

The Border Police has taken measures to increase counters and human resources at the BCP, in order to manage the tourist flow.

-There will be increased control at the green border and the blue border, to prevent border crime and illegal crossings.

-The Traffic Police, with intelligent devices, drones and breathalyzers, will be present 24/7 on all national road axes and in residential centers.

-At the same time, patrols have been increased in tourist areas to prevent road accidents and guarantee the free movement of vehicles.

-From June 16 to September 15, 2025, the circulation of heavy goods vehicles will be restricted on weekends and official holidays.

To best implement and fulfill the measures set out in the plan of measures, local Police structures are collaborating with:

-tourist agencies for tourist destinations, for equipping vessels with the relevant documentation and rigorously implementing navigation rules and safety measures;

-village mayors and local government; beach lifeguards, civil and health emergencies, as well as fire services.

Meanwhile, the Police services are continuing the "Free Beach" operation to liberate illegally occupied coastal areas.

Also, controls will be exercised to enforce the music schedule and punish noise level violators. Police officers are now equipped with noise measurement devices.

Meanwhile, in addition to the plan of measures, the General Director of the State Police has ordered the establishment of field service monitoring groups, for the rigorous implementation of the Code of Ethics by every police officer, in communication and in action./ CNA
