The Mobese project, which is a massive surveillance camera system that monitors the streets for the Turkish police, will be applied in Bodrum and districts in order to assure safety. With the system, after a total expenditure of $1.5 million, security forces will closely watch all main roads, streets and famous beaches.

According to Dogan News Agency, a new camera system was developed in Bodrum, which hosts approximately 5 million tourists a year, to cope with robbers, street-vendors and snatchers. After a three-year study, the security system will be put into operation before this year’s tourism season begins.

It was stated that with the Bodrum Security System, placed in 135 areas and developed with the collaborations of the Mugla Governorship, Bodrum Municipality, Bodrum Peninsula Promotion Association (BOYTAV), Bodrum Chamber of Commerce and Bodrum Market Tradesmen Association, the district will be observed 24 hours a day. The project aims to cope with illegal tourist guides, street-vendors, snatchers and noise pollution while assuring a peaceful holiday and safety.

“Due to the rising complaints about robbers, street-vendors and snatchers in the recent years, we had to take such precautions,” said BOYTAV President Mehmet Kocadon.
