Community policing groups are an important part of community safety and play a critical role in fostering trust, safety, and harmony.

This sentiment arose out of a monthly National Community Policing Group (CPG) meeting held yesterday, which was convened by Minister of Home Affairs, Robeson Benn, and included Permanent Secretary, Andre Ally; Head of the National CPG, Reshi Das; and liaison officers representing all ten administrative regions.

According to a Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA) release, the meting served as a platform to review the progress, activities, and challenges faced by community policing groups nationwide. Discussions centred on the importance of incorporating actionable intelligence into decision-making processes to address ongoing issues effectively and further enhance community safety initiatives.
