School security is no longer a routine public order topic for us. It has become one of the most important issues. The issue of school security needs to be followed more meticulously and more sensitively under the title of crimes committed against individuals." he said.

Farmer requested that security measures be strengthened at school entrance and exit hours, in abandoned buildings, services and areas where children are present.

Minister Çiftçi noted the following regarding the measures to be taken in schools where they are needed: "Now, let's assign security guards, temporary security guards through the gendarmerie, and guards through the police in schools where they are needed. In places where we need to take more precautions, they should be on duty half an hour before the children come to school, so that at least security can be ensured when the children come to school."

Farmer, who wanted to focus on the practices of public order, narcotics, juvenile branch, community-supported police and traffic teams around schools, said, "Let's definitely do more enforcement around schools during entry-exit hours and at lunchtime. We absolutely need to increase these measures and make them more visible in this way." made his assessment.
