EXCEPT for an increasing number of drug-related cases and commercial crime cases, the security level in Perak is overall satisfactory, said Perak Police Chief Comm Datuk Hasnan Hassan.

According to Comm Hasnan, curbing drug cases, whether it was addiction, possession or trafficking, posed the biggest obstacle for the state’s police.

“The problem is apparent especially in urban areas.

“It is in this aspect that we require the most assistance from you, our crime prevention partners,” Comm Hasnan said with reference to members of the media, non-governmental organisations, Rukun Tetangga, Malaysian Crime Prevention Foundation and Community Policing Association who were present for a get-together with the state police in Ipoh.

Police have also taken down over 100,000 pieces of bunting promoting illegal money lending services in the state so far, he added.

“As for other aspects of crime, I am happy to note that the number of gangsterism cases in the state is minimal with most of these cases concentrated in Ipoh, Manjung and Taiping.

“We have also arrested several Daesh militants but rest assured, we are in good hands as our Special Branch is constantly monitoring the movements of those suspected to have links with militants,” said Comm Hasnan.

He added that Perak police were working to further reduce the state’s crime index, especially snatch theft cases, robbery and burglary.

On another matter, Comm Hasnan said illegal gambling had taken on a new form in the country.

“Instead of setting up illegal gambling dens, everything is carried out online with customers using their own mobile phones or tablets to do so.

“Customers download a software and buy credits by transferring money into the bank accounts of gambling syndicates. Winnings are then deposited into the player’s bank account,” he said.

He added that police recorded a total of 23 cases so far this year.

“Of the number, the highest number of cases were reported in the Hilir Perak with eight cases, followed by Ipoh with four cases, three cases in Taiping, and two cases in Manjung.

“Only one case each was reported in the other districts,” Comm Hasnan said.

Indeks Jenayah Di Ipoh Menurun - Suara Perak

27 Dec 2016

IPOH: Kadar indeks jenayah di daerah Ipoh bagi tempoh sebelas bulan pertama tahun ini mencatatkan penurunan kepada 1,957 kes berbanding 2,182 bagi tempoh sama tahun lepas.

Ketua Polis Daerah Ipoh ACP Sum Chang Keong berkata, daripada semua kes itu, polis berjaya menyelesaikan kira-kira 47.52 peratus kes setakat ini.

"Jangan mudah bersikap selesa dengan pencapaian ini sebaliknya perlu menggandakan usaha untuk terus meningkatkan keyakinan masyarakat terhadap Polis DiRaja Malaysia," katanya ketika berucap pada majlis perhimpunan bulanan Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah (IPD) Ipoh di sini pada Selasa.

Pada majlis itu, Sum turut menyampaikan surat penghargaan kepada 44 pegawai dan anggota atas komitmen yang ditunjukkan ketika menjalankan tugas membanteras jenayah di daerah ini.

Dalam pada itu, Sum mengingatkan pegawai dan anggota IPD Ipoh supaya tidak sesekali mencuba atau terpengaruh dengan penyalahgunaan dadah kerana ia akan membinasakan kehidupan mereka.

"Walaupun hanya segelintir anggota polis yang terlibat, namun ia perlu ditangani kerana kegiatan yang tidak sihat itu tidak boleh dianggap perkara mudah dan tidak serius," ujarnya.

Beliau juga mahu ketua bahagian dan ketua polis balai termasuk penyelia memainkan peranan serta dan bertanggungjawab ke atas pegawai dan anggota di bawah seliaan masing-masing.

"Mereka yang terlibat dengan penyalahgunaan dadah perlu diambil tindakan mengikut prosedur operasi standard," katanya.
