COMMUNITY POLICING

Since the month of January upto the month of May, theft was a major issue in our estate. Two nights couldn't pass before someone was robbed or was heard screaming for help.
It was a major threat in Mauko such that people started moving out of the estate to other estates. Some feared to walk at night or even go out to help themselves.
However in the month of June, the area chief came up with measures where he employed some men and youths to do community policing.  This was a very good idea that helped reduce the rate theft and robbery in the area especially after two robbers were arrested by them and beaten to the point of death.
