The Police engage community stakeholders, including religious organisations, on crime prevention and security awareness as part of their community engagement efforts.

Religious organisations are members of local Safety and Security Watch Groups (SSWGs). The Police conduct crime risk assessments on premises together with building managers and give advice on crime prevention measures. This may include the adoption of useful technologies to enhance their security measures and help Police in investigations, such as the installation of CCTV cameras.

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) will continue to work together with our stakeholders on crime prevention and security awareness.
