Brief Description

The introduction of the Community Policing Specialist and Assistant Specialist roles in all police stations has had a significant impact on the education of young people. These officers lead awareness campaigns in schools on critical topics such as traffic safety, substance abuse, radicalization prevention, and violence prevention. By collaborating with youth organizations, teachers, psychologists, and school security officers, these initiatives address issues like bullying, crime, domestic violence, and legal violations, working towards reducing youth involvement in criminal activities and improving safety in both educational institutions and the wider community.
