A few months back, a relevant authority did inform the public through the media that the crime rate had dropped.
Well, I totally disagree.
Pictures and videos of burglaries and thefts posted daily on social media and local newspapers are saying otherwise.
And it’s scary that not only has this issue increased tremendously, it is becoming a life threatening situation.
I am not an expert, but to my knowledge, keeping the public protected requires the law enforcement officers to observe public behaviour.
And if these violent crimes are results of illicit drug consumption, then big time, lack of mental health issues is addressed and allotting
healthcare professionals to work with law enforcement officers maybe paramount.
Just a reminder to the public and the vulnerable, keep in mind that the unknown are always out there, armed and dangerous and are confident of terrorising you or your family.
So be vigilant and ready to protect yourself, in any way you can.
