Preah Sihanouk Provincial Television, September 15: To protect residents and domestic and international tourists and their property, provincial tourism police, water traffic police and health personnel continued joint coastal patrols on the afternoon of September 14, 2025.
Alongside regular patrols, the provincial administration plans to install another 257 surveillance cameras at 167 new locations on public roads and in key areas. This second phase follows the installation of 533 cameras at 433 locations and aims to strengthen public security.
The additional cameras will focus on Sihanoukville, Kampong Som city, Prey Nob district and Kampong Seila district. The aim is to improve technical prevention of theft and robbery, traffic offences and damage to public property.
The province began its surveillance-camera programme in 2019 and had installed 533 cameras across the province. The provincial spokesperson, named in the Chinese source as 隆迪孟, stressed that tourist safety was central to sustainable tourism: “If tourists feel unsafe, they will not choose to visit, so strengthening security is crucial.”
The report said these measures demonstrated the administration's determination to maintain social stability and laid a foundation for making Sihanoukville a safe, welcoming international tourist destination.
