28 September 2009 , By BERNAMA
TANGKAK, Sept 22 (Bernama) -- The government is expected to build 100 community police beat bases in Iskandar Malaysia by year end, at a cost of RM82 million, to prevent crime in the area.
Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman when making the announcement said at least one police officer and six trained volunteers would be stationed at each beat base.
"Each beat base will be equipped with living quarters and the bases will come under the purview of Johor Baharu, Iskandar Malaysia, Kulai and Pasir Gudang district police stations," he said after hosting an open house at his residence in Sungai Mati here on Tuesday.
About 15,000 well wishers, leaders of Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties and suspended MCA deputy president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek were among guests who attended the celebration.
Abdul Ghani who is also state safety committee chairman said it was part of the government's efforts to set up a police beat base for every 1,000 households in the country.
He added that apart from police beat bases, 2,000 closed circuit TV (CCTV) would also be installed at strategic locations.
