The convoy started at 8.30pm, and involved all stakeholders patrolling the streets of Mayville for three hours. Fidelity ADT Community Development Manager, Dan Maharaj, thanked the local CPF for the opportunity to get involved in the initiative and encouraged residents to support their local neighbourhood watch.
“Convoys of this nature are a wonderful way to create crime awareness in a specific suburb and showcase the power of stakeholder collaboration.”
“I urge residents to support their local CPF’s and NHWs. By attending community meetings, reading emails and voting when called to do so, you can show support for those who have stepped up and are working towards a security solution for you and your loved ones,” he said.
