Furthermore, Mobile School Teams (MOT) operating in 39 districts of the city will continue their duties in the new academic year.

With the opening of schools, comprehensive practices will be carried out in school surroundings, public places, school service vehicles, parks, and gardens. The participation of all relevant teams, including the Child-Security-Traffic-Prevention-Narcotics Branch and District Police Department personnel, will be crucial in preventing any potential incidents or negativities in the school environment.
The Istanbul Police Department is committed to ensuring the safety and security of students, staff, and school environments, and these measures aim to create a secure learning environment for everyone involved.
