Busi­ness­men and res­i­dents of Ca­paro, Flana­gin Town and en­vi­rons are elat­ed over the re-open­ing of the Bras­so Po­lice Sta­tion at Flana­gin Town. And they say there is now a need for an ag­gres­sive com­mu­ni­ca­tion cam­paign to alert the pub­lic on this ini­tia­tive. "The night­mare is over with. We now have ac­cess to na­tion­al se­cu­ri­ty in the neigh­bour­hood again. The 21st Cen­tu­ry Polic­ing was nev­er aimed to give se­cu­ri­ty and com­fort to the thou­sands of res­i­dents in the area," one busi­ness­man not­ed.

"We want to praise act­ing Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice, Mr (Stephen) Williams for his deep acu­men and fore­sight in bring­ing back what re­al polic­ing is, and to which we have been ac­cus­tomed to over the sev­er­al decades," he added. Res­i­dents had com­plained that the 21st Cen­tu­ry Polic­ing had not brought the re­lief res­i­dents of the dis­trict were call­ing for and there was a fear that crime would in­crease.

"We want to com­mend Min­is­ter of Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty Jack Warn­er for in­sist­ing that the nat­ur­al polic­ing way was the on­ly se­ri­ous ini­tia­tive to solve crime and oth­er crim­i­nal is­sues," a vil­lager said. There was a need for the se­nior po­lice of­fi­cials to re­work the re-in­tro­duc­tion of the for­mer sys­tem in the minds of the pop­u­lace he said.
