Voluntary overtime by municipal police

On the other hand, while the irrigation of medians and green areas is carried out in a controlled manner, Alanya Mayor Osman Tarık Özçelik stated in a statement before the holiday that the Municipal Police Department teams had requested to work voluntarily extra until the end of the holiday. The teams are completely on duty based on voluntary work for the peace and security of the citizens, while Alanya Municipality Municipal Police Director Naci Uzunsakal noted that they work tirelessly day and night to ensure that Alanya has a comfortable and peaceful holiday.
