Here are some useful tips from CPL Lim, a police from the neighbourhood police post, to prevent neighbourhood crime.
Crime Prevention Begins With You
- To get your own neighborhood watch together, set up a meeting and invite everyone who lives around you as well as representatives from your local police department.
- Try going door to door to either tell people personally or create a small flier that announces the time, location and intent of this meeting.
- Your group should work together to help deter crime, warn others of potential danger, but never put themselves at risk by trying to stop a crime on their own.
- If any criminal activity is spotted, the best thing to do is call the police immediately.

Email from resident
We have also received an email from our resident who had witnessed an incident on car vandalism. Below is his account on what happened.
SENT: FRI 20 Oct 2009 12:03PM
"Mr X,
Last nite was parking car at Blk 10 level 3 multi-storey carpark, and this is what I saw! I cannot believe it, so terrible of people to do such things to another’s car, no respect what so ever. See the pictures I attached? All these cars are sprayed with paint and scratched, my god! Hope you can forward this email to all our neighbours to warn them that vandals are around and making trouble for us!
Hope everyone can be on the lookout for each other and inform suspicious characters in our neighbourhoods."
The resident had also snapped crime prevention posters;
Do you think by advertising in posters, crime can be prevented? What other ways needed to be done to prevent such things from happening again? We want to hear from you!
