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. Click here to see how. 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. Click here to see the many social welfare 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.
