and make informed decisions, which reduces their chances of becoming victims. It also
minimises opportunities for criminals to exploit uninformed or unaware residents. Constant
updates on crime trends and statistics create transparency and foster a sense of shared
responsibility between law enforcement and the public. Moreover, informed communities can
take collective preventative measures such as forming neighbourhood watches or participating
in safety forums. Awareness builds trust in policing structures and strengthens the relationship
between communities and law enforcement agencies, resulting in a united front against
