SUBANG JAYA police will now be noticeably present even in the night with the debut of Ops Payung II, with our men in blue spotting new umbrellas equipped with beacon lights and night lamps manning their static stations.
The introduction of the new equipment will allow the police to operate into the night at hot spots in Subang Jaya, creating omnipresence in the community, according to Subang Jaya OCPD ACP Zainal Rashid Abu Bakar.
“The umbrellas with a blue beacon light and night lamp will operate until midnight when called upon. It will complement our existing 20 umbrellas used during the day.”
“Seven sets which include a table and a chair each will be mobilised immediately. It will also be used for manning road blocks,” Zainal said at the launch of the new umbrellas and also the meet-the-community session in front of Restoran Man Selera in SS15 recently.
He said the umbrella units will be used as one of the platforms for the public to interact with the police wherever they may be stationed.
The first phase of Ops Payung, the brainchild of Selangor Police Chief DCP Dato Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah, was launched in November last year. The umbrellas from the first phase were provided by Sime Darby Property Berhad.
“The crime rate in Subang Jaya has dropped tremendously thanks to the cooperation and assistance from the public.”
“This success would have been impossible without the community’s help,” Zainal said, adding that even the restaurant owner came forward to sponsor the refreshments for the launch when he was told the launch would be in front of his shop.
He paid tribute to members of the Voluntary Patrol Unit of Subang Jaya, comprising mostly senior citizens who diligently patrolled Subang Jaya and USJ during the day, creating a presence which helped deter attempts to perpetrate crime.
