Ladies do not walk alone

It does happen in Scotland but the police take a serious view of it and try to do something about it unlike the police in Calis seem to be doing.

And how many were reported to the police? They can't do anything if nobody tells them there is a problem.

Scunner, I agree...

>We need to keep this in perspective
>We also ALL need to report this to the police ASAP when it happens, even if they don't take it seriously.

If they start to get more and more reports they will have to take it seriously.  Especially if tourists start to avoid Calis then the local business owners will start to apply pressure to the authorities.

This sort of thing can happen anywhere but what worries me more is if the police don't take it seriously.  My partner has two teenage daughters and I am now a little worried about taking them out there:-\ but as I said you do need to keep it all in perspective.

These have been my my thoughts whilst reading the topic... some people have asked the question... So what are the police doing about it? But do they even know?? If the incidents haven't been reported to the police then they cannot act. I will try to go to the police in Gunlukbasi and ask them.

i dont think they would go to the police ,
can you picture it

"officer i was showing my p*nis to the lady asking for sex
and her husband knocked the sh*te out of me ,arrest him "

I think someone in calis should pop in to fethiye and ask to see the
emniyet muduru  (chief of police )
His name is OLCAY OZBARLAS ,he is a very nice man
and i am sure he will help
or pop and see ALI BOZKURT @ ALMINA HOTEL
he is a close friend of the chief of police
and the kaymakam (local governor)
kanga

this is who to go and see

I have just got back from speaking to the police about the incidents.
They did not know about them as they haven't been reported. They will put more patrols in the area and have asked that if anything happens to anyone they need to call 155 and the police will come to the location immediately. They have also said that however distressing the situation is, they need descriptions and registration numbers of vehicles involved. Also a report to the police needs to be made.
They were genuinely concerned about what has happened and want to catch the man or men that are doing this, but they need the reports, phone calls, descriptions etc to help them.

Lets hope they keep an eye on things.  I will be going out there with my two 16yr old daughters and I have to say that if I hadn't already booked, I wouldn't. Some of the stories are a little scary.

well done sunnyd for acting on this. but angry as i am about this happening in my place in the sun this happened only yesterday in England to a young lady up North in broad daylight. As everyone has said stay together and keep your eyes peeled and get taxis home at night. But enjoy your holidays.

There is not much to worry about if you are vigilant. If there were forums for resorts in Spain, France etc., and you read them, you probably wouldn't go there either. Important thing is to realise that things CAN happen wherever you go on holiday, and at least you know not to walk around in a dream.

Are these the same police we should report incidents to who came to a meeting a year or so ago at the Orient Express?
The bone of contention then was the number of high speed scooter riders whizzing up and down the prom.
The police spokesman said they did not have the manpower to patrol the prom regularly. Their advice was to photograph the offenders along with the offenders number plate: then the police would take action.
For the next two or three days two motor-cycle police, on their posh new black high power bikes, parked on the entrance to the prom near the bridge.
They happily waved to many of the scooter riders driving on to the prom, ( none wearing crash helmets ) and though I sat and watched for a full 2 hours, did not stop a single one of them. I had photos of the Police actually waving to the offenders! These were passed on to the police. Nothing happened.
