MIRI: Neighbourhood patrol units will be set up in each of the 234 crime hotspots in the country by the year's end in a move to get the people's help to reduce the crime rate.
The move follows the successful debut of similar patrols in Seberang Prai, Penang, where the crime rate has dropped by some 50% after the introduction of the neighbourhood patrols a year ago. "
