Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - The Public Security Department (PSD) launched a campaign aimed at putting an end to "negative activities" and harassment in front of girls schools throughout the kingdom.
PSD chief General Tawfiq Tawalbeh ordered police departments throughout the kingdom to conduct "comprehensive security surveys" of all-female schools throughout the kingdom, in coordination with local officials and education departments, to eliminate negative behavior in front of the schools.
PSD press office said that the security campaign comes after students, parents, and school principals filed numerous complaints of disrespectful acts by young men as female students enter and leave their schools.
Police will deploy patrol units at schools in the morning and afternoon, and threatened to take legal and administrative measures against anyone who commits disrespectful acts.
PSD called on residents, official agencies, and civil society organizations to cooperate with police and play a social role to put an end to such "negative behavior and harassment."
