Sabah, Labuan cops brace for surge in crime cases<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

LABUAN, Nov 18 (Bernama)\u00a0— The Sabah and Labuan police contingents are gearing up for a\u00a0surge in crime cases, which they anticipate could still be under control, amid the relaxation of movement restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Idris Abdullah said a directive had been issued to all district police chiefs in Sabah and Labuan to be fully prepared with effective strategies in crime preventive measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe anticipate a surge in all types of crime cases as Sabah and Labuan are now under Phase Four of the National Recovery Plan (PPN) with all economic sectors allowed to resume operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have had a meeting on crime prevention, and I have stressed to all officers in charge of police districts (OCPDs) to prepare and plan organised and systematic crime preventive measures, our approach is more on a smart deployment,\u201d he told reporters after launching the Zakat Collection Centre (PPZ) Tithe Monthly Deduction Campaign for policemen, at a hotel here today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Idris said crime hotpots and \u2018soft targets\u2019 across the state and Labuan need to be monitored closely and that crime prevention efforts in these areas must be intensified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAreas that have high crime intensity and relatively unprotected or vulnerable top crimes [soft target] spots have to be identified for preventive measures\u2026we are also intensifying community policing in ‘soft targets\u2019 with residential committees in maintaining public safety,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Idris noted that the crime scenario had changed from Phase One to Four of the PPN with a steady increase in crime cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPhase One, Two and Three of PPN were alright with a significant drop in crime cases (as movement restrictions were imposed) but we have seen a steady increase in Phase Four but still under control,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, on the campaign, Idris said police in the three federal territories – Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan – distributed  RM421,670.00 from  zakat (tithe)    collections to needy police families from 2019 to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campaign is to encourage police personnel to make monthly deductions for the zakat fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
