Dear Editor,

I refer to the letter captioned “Minister Rohee should organise a national workshop on community policing to address the problems that exist” (08.03.28) and wish to advise the writer to join a community policing group if she needs information on community policing rather than to use the newspapers to find out what is taking place with community policing.
Alternatively, you can contact the following bodies if you need information on community policing: the National Community Policing Executive, the Community Policing Desk at Eve Leary and/or The Ministerial Unit of Community Policing at the Ministry of Home Affairs.
In the past, people have been writing to the newspapers, calling for the formation of Community Policing Groups without having a sense that they may be exposing these very areas to be attacked by bandits……
