Community involvement valuable in the fight against crime
The blue light/white light police/community patrols take place once a month. Anyone is welcome to join. The date is announced on all social media platforms and in Parys Gazette prior to the patrol.
A blue light/ white light police/community patrol initiative was well supported on Friday, and once again showed the importance of strengthening law enforcement officers’ hands in their fight against crime.
We often see examples all over the country where suburbs have become generally safer when communities look after each other and stand together in the fight against crime.
This ‘team work’ approach can take many shapes and sizes – from formalised neighbourhood watch groups, all the way to WhatsApp messaging groups where people in a single street keep in contact with each other and share updates.
Remember to always be aware of your surroundings and remain vigilant. If you see something suspicious in your suburb, don’t keep quiet. Report it to the police.
