In the wee hours of the morning

If you see a couple of guys walking along our streets at the wee hours of the morning, please do not be alarmed. It maybe just us, your friendly neighborhood comittee doing our patrolling and also making sure our Sec. Guards continue to perform their duties diligently.

Here are the most common of our observations over the last 7 days of patrol:

- Autogates are ajar / not completely closed ( most likely caused by gate speed )

- Small gate ( of the main gate ) is not padlocked

- Houses in complete darkness ( try leaving your porch light on )


Do take note that it is situations like this that gives birth to crimes of opportunity i.e. a crime that is committed without planning when the perpetrator has the chance to commit the act at that moment and seizes it.

So the next time, you do spot us on the streets, give us a shout or a wave; or better still join us. Not only will you have good company, you'd also get some cardio / burn some carbs before bedtime.

Alas, I am but an early sleeper. Probably even earlier now that I know you are on the beat.

Hat's off to you!

I want to thank our dedicated committee who seem to have gone out of their way to provide the sense of security and safety for all of us.

If you are asking whether we will ignore a crime taking place in a non-contributing resident's home..

The answer is NO! We will still perform our civic duty..
