He said KRT's main functions include monitoring and investigating all issues on community conflicts in the area concerned and then report anything suspicious to the police.
"Communities need to create awareness in neighbourhoods. They need to identify employment backgrounds , who their neighbours are and so on so that when external elements enter the housing areas, they will be alerted. "Through the Voluntary Patrol Scheme available in KRTs, the community is able to monitor the neighbourhood and help prevent criminal activities," he told Bernama recently.
Saiman said his team is not able to conduct patrols in all housing areas, so KRTs serve as the"eyes" of the police.Saiman also said the police, especially JPJKK, will play a consultative role in the community besides educating the community about the shared responsibility in crime prevention. "The police have a close relationship with KRTs. If there are KRTs which need police expertise, we will give guidance and briefings on how to identify suspects,” he added. - Bernama
