A campaign called “Know your Neighbour“ is being adopted by the Police Community Policing team as a means of addressing serious crimes.
The main aim of the campaign is to encourage members of the public to develop an understanding of those living in their neighbour hood as a way of looking out for eachother and keep criminal elements at bay.
Director Community Policing, SSP Waqa Cavuilati says in light of recent cases of serious crimes such as aggravated robberies and burglaries, the simple act of knowing your neighbour can help prevent crime.
He says neighbours can help you in times of trouble and can even look after your home when are not there.
Fiji's sevens players, special constables Samisoni Viriviri and Joeli Lutumailagi are embassaders for this Initiative.
Police are encouraging people to join this initiative.
