Istanbul Police Chief Selami Yıldız Leads Drone‑Assisted Security Operation in Avcılar

Istanbul's police chief Selami Yıldız supervised a drone‑supported "Huzur Asayiş" (peace and security) operation in the Avcılar district. The sweep involved multiple police units, including the Avcılar district chief Yılmaz Kahraman, and featured vehicle stops, checks of occupants, and general information searches. Officers questioned individuals deemed suspicious and engaged with local residents and merchants, emphasizing a visible presence to deter "city bandits" and maintain public order.

Yıldız highlighted that ensuring residents feel safe at all times is the department's greatest success and stressed the operation's role in preventing crime across Istanbul's 39 districts. The deployment is part of a broader, ongoing series of peace operations across the city.
