PETALING JAYA: In a move to get to know the community better, Sea Park police officers went on meet-and-greet in SS2B here this morning.
This is the first project launched by the Petaling Jaya district police to distribute their sector cards, listing the names and telephone numbers of the officers in charge of the area.
The residents responded positively by welcoming the five officers to the area.
Petaling Jaya district police chief, ACP Arjunaidi Mohammed, said: "The sector cards, which are similar to business cards, will make it easier for the public to contact the officers. They will also get to know the officers in charge of their area personally.
"We have to work closely with the public. That's why we need to know them better. If they have information on a crime, they would not hesitate to contact us. Without knowing each other, how can we share information?"
SS2B residents' association deputy chairman Tan Kim Tun said the new approach would go a long way to reduce crime in the area.
"Since last year, there had been a lot of improvement. There are no more snatch thefts or burglaries. We feel safer."
