Reduce crime rate further, cops urged

By STEVEN CHIEW chiewcc@thestar.com.my

Police officers in Kuala Lumpur must not rest on their laurels just because the crime rate has dropped by 18% but continue to work harder to reduce it further.
Chief police officer Deputy Comm Datuk Zulkifli Abdullah wants his men to maintain their hard work and strive to make the city crime-free.
“A total of 29,953 cases were reported in Kuala Lumpur last year, compared with 36,663 in 2009 with police solving 49% or 14,676 cases reported last year,” he said when addressing the monthly assembly at the city police headquarters on Tuesday.
DCP Zulkifli also ordered the police to hold more meetings with the public to find out their grouses and how best it could be tackled.
He also wanted his men to offer the public more value-added services, including increasing patrols.
“We will also work closely with the Education Department, youth organisations and the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry to tackle crime involving youngsters,” he added.
