Baku is strengthening urban safety through a combination of modern technology, proactive policing and community engagement, with authorities citing consistently low crime rates and high detection levels.

According to Euronews, the Azerbaijani capital has expanded the use of smart systems across the city, including intelligent traffic management and enhanced surveillance infrastructure, with security services operating around the clock.

Officials say these measures are aimed at preventing crime while ensuring rapid response when incidents occur.

Authorities also highlight close cooperation with residents, businesses and civic organisations as a key element of maintaining public order. Regular communication and public awareness initiatives, they say, help build trust and encourage shared responsibility for safety.

Visitors and residents alike report a strong sense of security and openness in daily life, describing Baku as a city where people feel comfortable moving freely at all hours.

The perception, reinforced by visible policing and modern infrastructure, has contributed to the capital’s image as a safe and welcoming destination.
