In a proactive move to bolster community safety, National Security Minister and Attorney General Sir Steadroy Benjamin has urged residents of All Saints West to actively participate in crime prevention by establishing neighbourhood watch groups. Speaking at a town hall meeting held at the Sea View Farm Primary School on Thursday evening, Sir Steadroy emphasized the importance of fostering stronger communication within local communities to deter criminal activities. He encouraged residents to organize themselves into neighbourhood watch groups, utilize platforms like WhatsApp for coordination, and remain vigilant for unfamiliar individuals in their areas. ‘Call your neighbour, let them know someone strange is in the neighbourhood,’ he advised. Additionally, Sir Steadroy announced plans to install additional street lights in areas such as Bellevue to enhance visibility and security. He also revealed that the government would intensify police patrols in the constituency as part of its broader strategy to improve public safety. Highlighting the government’s commitment to youth development, the minister noted that the local MP has been actively identifying young individuals with potential for educational opportunities through initiatives like UWIFIC. Sir Steadroy’s address underscored the need for collaborative efforts among citizens, law enforcement, and government agencies to build safer and more resilient communities.
