The Nasinu Town Council is intensifying its action by collaborating with the Valelevu Police Force to combat drug-related crimes which include the installation of advanced CCTV systems in critical areas, with live feeds shared directly with the police.
They are also looking at joint outreach programs to educate the public on the dangers of drug abuse and crime prevention, collaborative campaigns to improve road safety and enforce traffic regulations, coordinated drills and awareness programs to enhance emergency preparedness and efficient use of shared resources, including equipment and facilities, to strengthen law enforcement efforts.
The council says this partnership aims to foster a secure environment for all residents.
A Memorandum of Understanding is currently under legal review by both parties.
This agreement outlines the comprehensive strategy to address drug issues and enhance public safety.
Council Executive Chairman, Felix Magnus says this partnership is a significant step towards a safer Nasinu.
He says by working closely with the Valelevu Police Force, they are proactively addressing the root causes of drug-related issues and fostering a community where residents feel secure and supported.
Magnus says their goal is to create a resilient community through education, engagement, and enforcement.
