George Town, 6th July 2025 - The visible presence of the Tourist Police Unit (UPP) at Penang''s key tourist hotspots has boosted security and confidence among visitors, especially the large number of Chinese tourists.
Central Police Station Chief ASP Muhamad Firdaus Ishak said four stations namely his in Lebuh Carnavon, Lebuh Pantai, Jalan Patani and Pulau Tikus are involved in providing UPP personnel on the ground.
“At the Central police station specifically, two to three officers are assigned to the unit from 8am to 8pm daily. They are deployed to areas with high volume of tourists and public traffic, particularly around Lebuh Armenian, Lebuh Cannon and Lebuh Acheh, all located within the Unesco World Heritage Site.
“During peak periods, the regular deployment of two to three UPP officers remains unchanged but other patrol officers, including those from the Motorcycle Patrol Unit, will also conduct routine patrols in those areas to boost crime prevention efforts.
“The common issues often faced by tourists include misplacement of their belongings or needing directions to specific locations.
