Romania child welfare and crime prevention outreach

Overview

In August 2026, Romanian police expanded their community outreach and preventive education initiatives across several counties. In Olt County, officers in Slatina conducted sessions for preschoolers as part of the national anti-bullying campaign ‘When the witness speaks, bullying stops,’ focusing on empathy and road safety. On the same day, police in Cugir visited a senior-care center to advise elderly residents on traffic safety and protection against online and street scams.

In Gorj County, police held workshops for scouts at the ‘Acasă la Brâncuși’ camp in Arcani between August 13 and 15. These sessions addressed bullying prevention, drug trafficking, and online safety, concluding with a supervised hike in the Tismana mountain area.

Mureș County continued its targeted efforts toward the private sector. The Mureș County Police Inspectorate conducted visits to workplaces, including a fan factory in Târnăveni, a production unit in Sighișoara, and a sugar factory in Luduș. Officers briefed employees on cyber fraud tactics, such as impersonating institutions or fraudulent bank calls, and provided guidance on protecting personal data. The campaign also promoted domestic violence prevention under the slogan ‘Request electronic monitoring when you are in danger! Protect your life!’, highlighting available electronic monitoring and counseling services.

These activities complement ongoing national efforts to address child welfare, mental health, and substance abuse through increased police presence, school-safety workshops, and specialized support programs.
