On 5 August, officers received a workshop on effective communication, covering verbal and non‑verbal cues, bias reduction and public perception, aimed at improving interactions with citizens and enhancing the police’s image. The following day, 6 August, the directorate expanded its outreach by launching regular community drug‑awareness education in partnership with the Turkey Drug and Addiction Monitoring Center (TUBİM). The new initiatives – including the NARKO Rehber, NARKO Gençlik and “Best Narcotics Officer: Mother” projects – target teachers, parents, youth groups and the broader public, providing information on the effects of illicit substances and encouraging early detection and reporting. Together, the two programmes illustrate a broader effort by Kütahya police to strengthen both internal professionalism and community resilience through targeted training and public education. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-06: Kütahya Police Expand Community Drug Awareness Training Kütahya police, with TUBİM, are running regular drug‑awareness courses for teachers, parents and youth, emphasizing early detection and community reporting. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ktahya-police-expand-community-drug-awareness-training ### 2026-08-05: Kütahya Police Directorate staff receive effective communication training Police officers in Kütahya received a communication training by university lecturer Mustafa Çağrı Demir, focusing on body language, bias reduction, feedback and public interaction. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ktahya-police-directorate-staff-receive-effective-communication-training --- Cite as: Kütahya Police Directorate community training initiatives.
