UTFAC is happy to see that police officers and members of the control unit are more active stopping vehicles while checking for weapons, stolen items, tools that can be used for robberies as well as necessary documents that includes vehicles insurance and driver's licenses.
The Community Councils Task Force Against Crime would like to remind the general public that the battle against crime is everyone's business. The police has their job to carry out and as a responsible society we should be mindful and respectful towards their tasks.
UTFAC urges everyone to remember to walk with their ID card, it is the law that everyone should be in possession of an ID card in order to show to authority when asked.
UTFAC is also asking all those that use their blackberries to send info on road controls to their mass mailing list, to refrain from doing so. The criminals also have blackberries and can plot new ways to avoid road controls and police interventions.
The community is urged to call the police anonymous tip line 108 whenever they have information on robberies and sensitive information relating to crime.
Together as a community and partnering with our police force we can take a bite out of crime.
