A large-scale meeting between Shymkent Police Department Chief Mukhtar Kozhayev and students was held at South Kazakhstan University. Over 500 students participated in the event. The meeting had an open format: along with the presentation, thematic videos were shown, and students were able to ask questions. The general focused on the most pressing threats facing young people today. He discussed stalking, which is officially classified as a criminal offense, the inadmissibility of forced marriage and so-called bride kidnapping, and common internet fraud schemes, particularly droppering. The topic of drug crime was also addressed. Students were informed that involvement in drug trafficking is equivalent to drug trafficking and carries serious criminal penalties. Warnings were also issued about the dangers and consequences of using psychotropic substances, including vapes and laughing gas. The police officer also reminded drivers of the rules for using electric scooters and the penalties for violating traffic regulations, emphasizing that road safety depends on the discipline of each road user. "Public safety is not only the work of law enforcement agencies but also the personal responsibility of each individual. You are the future of the country. We believe in you and are always ready to support you," noted Mukhtar Kozhaev. Law enforcement officials note that similar meetings aimed at preventing crime and fostering a legal culture among young people will continue in Shymkent.

At South Kazakhstan University, the head of the city police department, Mukhtar Kozhaev, held a meeting with about 500 students and established an open and meaningful dialogue. At the meeting, the general not only gave an official speech to the youth, but also discussed *real issues of concern to society*. In particular, the topic was stalking, kidnapping, "dropper" schemes in Internet fraud, drug distribution, the use of vaping and "laughing gas", the culture of wearing masks in public places, and scooter riding. The police officer noted that *stalking* is considered a crime by law, and insisted that *kidnapping* is not a tradition, but a violation of human rights. The police chief also touched upon the issue of fraud committed via the Internet and urged young people not to be fooled by offers of *"easy money". He explained that *giving a bank card to a stranger* is tantamount to complicity in a crime. In addition, he warned that *being a drug dealer* also leads to serious criminal liability. During the meeting, special videos were shown and legal requirements were explained using specific examples. Students asked their questions and openly exchanged views. *– The security of society depends on the responsibility of every citizen. You are the future of the country. We believe in you and are always ready to support you,* – said Mukhtar Kozhaev. The meeting became a meaningful platform for young people to think. The police officers will continue to hold preventive meetings with students in the future.
