The number of street children increases daily. Police and other security agencies are supposed to ensure that such acts of lawlessness not occur on our streets. Several efforts have been put in place. In addition to the 999 patrol vehicles and foot patrols, the Police has also set up Police booths in areas considered black spots to enhance security. There are also occasional swoops to round up suspected thugs.
People hurry past and the thug walks away.
The next day they blame the Police. Safety of our lives and property starts with ourselves, our neighbours and our community. The Police compliments. Members of the public are expected to apprehend criminals and hand them over to the Police. The tendency of refusing to make written statements to the Police by witnesses only gives the criminals a chance to walk away free.
