''RUKUN TETANGGA'' teams be set up to patrol the neighbourhood at night.

There has been an icrease in burglaries in my neighbourhod and the residents are very worried about their safety.So leader in my villages was forward a proposal that is to set up Rukun Tetangga teams to patrol neighbourhood at night.This method has been proven to be effective with its past implementation in many neighbourhood.There is zero cost as residents take turns to patrol the neighbourhood.Because the patrolling is done at night,this will deter many break-ins as most of the case happen in the night and early morning.Lastly,besides being an effective deterrent,the other benefit of a Rukun Tetangga patrol is that resident get to know one another and build rapport amongst themselves.This in itself is a benefit as a residents who know one another well,will be able to discuss issues and work closely to improve the safety of their neighbourhood.
