It is unlikely that any of the tourists who have visited Kutaisi recently think about the fact that they have visited the former "thieves' center of Georgia. Today, security in Kutaisi is maintained at a high level by a renewed police force, which oversees order in the city.
After the police reform, the long-standing and far from honorable title of Kutaisi, associated with the representatives of the thieving world, remained only in the memory of the old-timers.
Night walks through the city are perfectly safe. The crime rate in Kutaisi is very low thanks to the well-coordinated work of the police. In case of danger, the police will arrive in any part of the city within 5 minutes after the call.
