District police commanders urged to develop crime prevention plans with stakeholders

According to the commissioner, the engagement by the police with stakeholders in their district is critical for the implementation of the police’s Enhanced Visibility and Community Policing Strategy.

“District commanders, who will be the main drivers of the strategy, will be required to develop security and crime prevention plans with stakeholders in their respective jurisdictions.

“These plans shall become their road maps and an important element for police accountability locally,” he said at the launch of the Enhanced Visibility and Community Policing Strategy.

Touching on the visibility strategy, COP Awini said that it was well researched by a team of experts.
