The municipal police force will get back to Athens’s streets as of next week, according to an announcement of Municipality of Athens, two years after it was disbanded.

The city force will be informing residents and visitors of their role and responsibilities by distributing informative leaflets as part of an information campaign which will last until October 25.

Through the informative leaflet, Athens Mayor Giorgos Kaminis is calling on residents and visitors to cooperate with the municipal police in order to make Athens a safer, more functional and friendlier city.

As of October 26, the municipal force will start enforcing the law and imposing fines and penalties in cases of violations.

For filing complaints or asking for information, call the Municipal Police hotline 1595, 24 hours a day or send an e-mail at tep@cityofathens.gr.
