KAPIT: Kapit Police chief, DSP Freddy Bian disclosed that for the period from January to March 2018, only nine (9) cases were recorded as compared to sixteen (16) cases in the corresponding period last year.
“This is an improvement. Most of the cases involved theft and house break-ins. Many cases could be prevented if only the property owners looked after their houses properly. For example, the back door or window was unlocked when the house was empty,” explained Freddy during the 211th Police Day celebration at Kapit Police Headquarters recently.
He attributed the low crime in the district to the close co-operation between the police and the community.
Earlier, Freddy handed out Letter of Recommendation to Inspector Muhd Nizam Mohd Izhar, Inspector Isan Sari Hassang, Inspector Norita Mohd Khairi, Sergeants Jiden Rawen, Johnny Rawing Ensegam and Roland Gasah, Corporals Philip John Tadol and Micheal Umap, Lance Corporals Muhd Hilmi Kamar Aris, Mohd Omran Omar and Amar Syarim and Constable Leonard Selin. The civilian staffs were Mariam Batok and Lington Jalong.
During the celebration, Bank Rakyat Kapit presented a cake to the police in conjunction with the Police Day celebration. On hand to present the cake was the bank’s assistant branch manager, Abdul Harun Sa’adi during high tea held at the Police Headquarters.
Present together at the gathering were ASP Chiew Swoi Kee, ASP Chua Su Hwa, ASP Fauzan Kassim, ASP Makkarannu Beddu, Inspector Ugendran A/L Nesaratnam, Inspector Mohd Firdaus, Mahadi, PERKEP chaiperson (Police Women Association) Bebian Michael Diway, heads of departments, community leaders and ex-policemen.
