Four things we must do to fight crime
and improve the Berea.
and improve the Berea.
1. Relentlessly report degradation of infrastructure. We want our guardrails maintained at all times.
We want our sidewalks upgraded.
We want our verges manicured and maintained.
We want our trees pruned and replaced.
We want street lighting improved and maintained.

2. Adopt zero tolerance towards street beggars,
vagrants, squatters and unregulated car guards.
This might seem as though we don't care, but
encouraging an influx of vagrants and beggars
is only going to increase the incidence of
burglaries and muggings on the Berea.

organisations that you can be charitable towards
in order to assist the jobless and homeless. Do
not hand out money and food at intersections.
3. Become a passive street guard. Whenever you
leave your home or re-enter the Berea, slow
down and look around for signs of irregularity.
If just1% of the Berea's residents do this, we
would have thousands of pairs of eyes watching
out for and reporting irregularities to our security
partners. Put the numbers of our security partners
on your cell phone. Click here for some tips on
what you should be looking out for.
4. Make a note of all the serial numbers of electronic
goods in your home. The police can then include
these numbers on your Crime Report. If and
when goods are found at a later time, your case
can be added to the criminals' charge sheet and
strengthen the chances of a prosecution and
sentencing. Consider microdotting your valuables.
