@HindoloMomoh It tells you of our priority to work with different groupings to fight crime in society. Those who perpetrate crimes in society are not coming from space but among us.

[Sierra Leone Police @PoliceLeone]

@stazz101 In community policing, you use a peer group to work with others. Fighting crime is no longer the business of the police, alone.

[Sierra Leone Police @PoliceLeone]

@AhmedAzizMajee1 @sierraeyesalone @PresidentBio @leone_pr @juldehjalloh_vp How are they going against the constitution? In community policing, you work with different classes of people to fight crime. For workers; you use workers' unions, for eg.

[Sierra Leone Police @PoliceLeone]

@TheAlima Probably, you misread the tweet or giving it a different twist. What is wrong with having people to help fight youth crime; given the obvious fact that that grouping itself is youth dominated? In community policing drive, you work with different classes of people to fight crime.
