Perak crime index goes up

Perak crime index had gone up. It was reported in the Star. The Acting CPO said that the police must do more patrols and the people should help the police by reporting of any suspicious characters loitering around in the neighbourhood. This is easy said than done. The police should brush up on their PR before the public can help them to reduce crimes. They are paid by the taxpayers to keep the country or state free of crimes. Apparently the police always think they rule the country. Of course if one looks at the arms the police have in its armament bought and paid for by the taxpayers' money and we are made to look like criminals. Even making police reports it turns out to be a frustrating experience. Of course there are police officers who are kind to help through. But these are the few who know about PR what about the rest of the police officers? Some of them will just shout at you. As if you are a nuisance to walk in to file a complaint. Sometimes it explains why people are reluctant to assist the police because your identity will be exposed and voila! the crooks will know who you are and where you stay.....scary isnt it? So the neighbourhood patrol should be introduced by law. In this way everybody has no excuse to escape duty. Now it is just a voluntary service and it will die in its own speed. I always think I want to join the Rakankop but I keep postpone it. Right now without doing anything people in town 'know' me. I dont know them because this town isn't my home town. I transport myself here to stay...The Perak Police should break down who commit the crimes. The people on the street always think it is the foreigner here....Either it is the Indonesian or Indian...here the police can do to dispel the notion about these people cari makan disini.
