Current priorities
Reduce Vehicle Crime Lower vehicle damage and interference in the ward.
Deploy targeted patrols in areas with high vehicle crime reports. Launch a community campaign on vehicle security (e.g., locking cars, removing valuables). Arrest and charge the suspects who's involved in the vehicle crime.
