Concerns raised regarding student behaviour prompts school visits by Police

Police officers will be conducting visitations to schools following concerns raised on the behaviour of students after school hours.

Chief Operations Officer Assistant Commissioner of Police Abdul Khan says concerns have been raised by members of the public on students seen in towns and cities in groups well after school hours.

ACP Khan adds that information received of students meeting up after school hours for reasons other than educational purposes will only lead to trouble.

He is urging parents and guardians to support Policing efforts to ensure children are not exposed to situations that will impact their safety.

ACP Khans highlighted that information was received of a situation that what would have turned out to be a brawl between students, and Community Policing efforts are being pushed forward to schools where officers are able to address students in numbers.

The Police Chief of Operations says while officers and teachers will continue to share safety awareness with students at schools, parental and guardian support in reinforcing the same messages from home, is equally important.

ACP Khan is also reminding students not to involve themselves in any activity that could lead to trouble, as it could impact their education.
