Police and community to work together to reduce crime

Naha police have met with the elders of the Kobito 3 community in east Honiara recently to discuss the increasing concerns about antisocial behaviors impacting the peace and security in their communities.

Officer Commanding Station (OCS) Naha police station, Superintendent Leslie Kili, said this joint effort seeks to improve community safety and revive a sense of pride within the neighborhood.

OCS Kili stated, “The discussion emphasized the negative effects these behaviors have on local residents, families, and the overall well-being of the community.”

In response, the Kobito 3 community expressed their intention to
• Establish a crime prevention committee to implement proactive measures that enhance safety and well-being in the Kobito three community.
• Draft bylaws to address specific issues related to antisocial behaviors, providing clear guidelines and expectations for all residents.

Superintendent Kili assured the Kobito three community that the RSIPF will support and is committed to collaborating on the implementation of the crime prevention committee for the benefit of the community and the country as a whole.

Mr. Kili emphasized that all communities in and around Honiara should take similar steps to prevent the rise of anti-social behaviors, which unfortunately are increasingly affecting young people under the influence of others.

The Kobito 3 community’s initiative to engage with law enforcement represents a proactive move to tackle antisocial behaviors and promote unity. By partnering with the RSIPF, they aim to create a safer environment that residents can truly be proud of.
