National Security Minister and Attorney General Sir Steadroy Benjamin is urging residents of All Saints West to take a hands-on approach to crime prevention by forming neighbourhood watch groups.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Addressing a town hall meeting at the Sea View Farm Primary School on Thursday night, Sir Steadroy encouraged residents to strengthen communication within their communities to help deter criminal activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am asking you to organize yourself into neighbourhood watches. Look and see if there are any strange people in your community. Get groups organized, even WhatsApp groups. Call your neighbour, let them know someone strange is in the neighbourhood,\u201d he said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sir Steadroy also announced that additional street lights will be installed in areas such as Bellevue to improve visibility and security. He added that the government will increase police patrols in the constituency as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance public safety.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Commending the constituency\u2019s Member of Parliament for his dedication to youth development, Sir Steadroy noted his consistent advocacy for scholarships and skills training opportunities for young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour MP wants the young people to benefit. He talks to me all the time, he speaks to the Prime Minister. Since the UWIFIC, he\u2019s been scouting the area to find young people with the potential to study there,\u201d he said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The minister\u2019s remarks formed part of a broader call for collaboration among citizens, law enforcement, and government agencies to create safer and more resilient communities.<\/p>\n
