To address crimes and other social issues in Kadavu, Police aim to empower the 75 villages of the 9 Districts under the “Vueti Sauca” operation, that is currently underway on the island.
Police say the Operation conducted by the Southern Division Community Policing Unit will begin with a workshop to empower communities and selected Crime Prevention Committee (CPC) members on how the Committee can work together with Police for safer communities.
Last Friday, the Tikina of Sanima became the first of the 9 Tikina’s to launch their Crime Prevention Committee.
A Committee member, 73-year-old Anare Baba of Naivakarauniniu Village, says he is happy to be part of the committee and hopes to contribute effectively to bring positive changes.
He says it is the first time the Police have taken this approach to educating them before they form their Crime prevention committees.
His message to youths is to focus on their education so they can earn a respectable and decent living.
