Residents learn how to fight crime

(CNS): Two recent crime awareness seminars hosted by the RCIPS and UCCI went down well police said. Inspector Anthony White, of the RCIPS’ Training Department said he was pleased with the response. “Everyone should be informed on how to maximize their quality of life by simply understanding what they can personally do to reduce their levels of fear," White added.

 White, who holds a PhD in Criminal Justice, developed the sessions which were held at the University College of the Cayman Islands and highlighted crime prevention measures that businesses and homeowners can take in securing and protecting their properties. "Attendees at the seminar represented a cross-section of the community. This was important because the seminar contained information that was beneficial to all,” he said.  “We were pleased with the response and have received very position feedback on the sessions.”
