Former Inspector-General of Police Hanif Omar gives a small tips to a supervision as well as a stream military force upon how to quarrel crime.
PETALING JAYA: Good people, good precision as well as despotic supervision have been a 3 most critical factors in a quarrel opposite crime. Former Inspector-General of Police Hanif Omar feels whilst a military force needs competent manpower as well as equipment, a most critical factor is quality manpower.
Hanif, a longest portion IGP of 20 years, was commenting upon efforts by a supervision to residence a worrying crime rate as clear in an increasing allocation of RM591million underneath a 2013 Budget.
Among alternative things, Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak had voiced which a supervision is augmenting military crew as well as equipment, unit bikes as well as CCTV cameras as good as spending some-more to repay auxiliary forces such as municipal volunteers.
In an SMS communiqu with FMT, 73-year-old Hanif lauded a increasing allocations for a force as "most welcome", as well as talked about ways to enlarge a potency of a force.
First, Hanif referred to which there contingency be KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) worked out for any personnel. "Each male contingency uncover a small formula from his month's work," he said.
"I used to check any unit car for its year's prolific work, including price of petrol, oil, lubricants, tires as well as servicing as well as compare it with a price of dual patrolmen's annual salary.
"I held several cars with nonexistence lapse of prolific work no arrests, no verifiable chases, no summonses. Some were dissipated by commanding off! icers or lesser officers."
He pronounced which 'beatmen' contingency be lerned to see tip-offs from their casual contacts as well as from curious observations.
"They contingency not walk a kick aimlessly though contingency get to know what activities have been carried out along their beats. They should be rewarded by timely promotions for consistently being prolific as well as display initiative. Do not promote those who produce no results."
Hanif additionally pronounced which enough income should be channeled into a training, re-training or advance precision of all officers involved in a rapist probity system.
"Also a upgrading of a supervisory skills as well as capacity of a echelons of supervising officers during all levels, with clear KPIs should be carried out.
"The lines in between a supervisors as well as a supervised contingency be redrawn clearly again.The blurring of a line as we think to exist today should promptly be stopped."
Effective patrols
He pronounced which difficult equipment should be supplied to grasp a improved monitoring of effective patrols.
"Ideally a men, cars as well as motocycles should be GPS tagged both for supervision as good as for safety. More CCTVs should be commissioned in crime prone areas as well as should cover beats as well as unit stopping as well as meeting points, so which control centre can monitor a beatmen as well as unit cars," he said.
He noted which there have been instances where deployed group garland up together in groups, adding which in recent times, he has seen 5 motorcycle patrolmen congregating in a single spot, including in children' s playgrounds.
"This speaks of ineffective as well as sterile deployment or supervision. [When we have groups of] 4 or 5, it means which 4 or 5 group cover only a single place instead of 3 or 5 areas."
"When group have been grouped together simi! lar to w hich they have a tendency to jabber instead of observing a goings-on for breaches of a law," he said, citing a Inspector General's Standing Order which dictates which no dual military beatmen should be closer to any alternative than 100 paces away.
"[They should be] tighten enough to support any alternative though as well distant from any alternative to chat."
Hanif pronounced which PDRM contingency not dont think about which a General Operations Force as well as a Federal Reserve (riot) Units (FRU) have been a IGP's haven forces which can be sent anywhere to support local forces.
"They have been mostly used for this role today though they should be restructured, given multi-skills training, as well as one some-more equipment to improve their versatility as well as skills, as well as to enable them to work in pairs or singly. That approach they can cover some-more area," he said.
He pronounced which all group should be enough equipped with "a palm gun, a walkie-talkie, an "American" baton, a capsicum spray, hand-cuffs as well as be lerned in with bare hands fight during slightest once a week as was done prior to so which they have been confident about their level of fitness as well as have been confident they can take upon bigger opponents".
"When a crime impediment crew a kick as well as patrolmen as well as a special rounds group have been not productive, some-more criminals would be means to dedicate crimes.
"When which happens a effort of CID a IOs as well as AIOs increases. When a detectives have been means to support a IOs as well as AIOs to examine successfully, as well as here they contingency be ably assisted by police, chemistry dialect or Ministry of Health debate scientists, then a military prosecutors as well as DPPs will have an increasing workload.
"If a IOs as well as a AIOs have been overloaded, they cannot persevere enough time to examine scrupulously as well as speedily, ensuing in cold ! trails, careless investigations bad justification gathering, broken chains of evidence, doubtful integrity of exhibits, bad documentation, as well as so on. Then a lot of cases will not be prosecuted or will get thrown out of court."
Misunderstanding of policing
Fighting crime, he said, requires a combined efficacy of crime prevention, crime detection, crime review as well as crime prosecution. "They have been inter-dependent functions involving a Management as well as CID branches, as well as a AG Chambers. The efficacy of all these units contingency be scrupulously balanced as they have been interconnected," he said.
He pronounced which fighting crime calls for crime impediment which is mostly a work of a Management/Administrative Branch, where all kick as well as patrolmen come under. Crime detection, upon a alternative hand, comes underneath a CID in a form of detectives or a special round crew (under Management Branch).
"Who in a military force have been doing crime fighting? Judging by statements by a small politicians as well as members of a public which a annual military budget allocates as well most income to Management/ Administration as well as as well small to CID, it shows a disagreement of policing."
He pronounced which a one some-more budget would boost a Management's crime impediment efficacy with 10,000 one some-more military volunteer haven crew as well as 1,000 unit motorcycles.
Hanif additionally pronounced which a enough series of a 1,000 motorcycles should be used by kick as well as unit supervisers, as well as even AIOs as well as IOs, to enhance a men's c! omplianc e with a SOPs.
Recounting his younger days as an review officer in Malacca, Hanif said: "I used my own scoooter when we was an IO, carrying my fingerprint-lifting tools, my own camera as well as my comparative ruler, statement forms as well as military 55A report forms.
"That approach we could proceed to a crime stage but waiting for a inadequate military car to take me to a place, which approach victims of crime were attended to fast creating a improved level of satisfaction."
Asked what he thought was a most critical aspect a PDRM should focus upon right now, Hanif said:
"I would contend some-more AIOs (assistant review officers), Ios (investigation officers) as well as CID (criminal review department) group supervisors or SIOs (senior review officers) who have undergone complete CID multi- skills as well as group training."
He pronounced which preferably, any IO should handle no some-more than eight new IPs a month, though he noted which a IO would additionally be loaded with most older IPs which have not found closure as well as needed to be followed up on. He pronounced which any AIO should not have some-more than 20 simple IPs a month
Hanif additionally referred to combining CID teams consisting "one SIO, dual IOs, dual AIOs, dual general debate detectives (fingerprint as well as plastercast-lifting) as well as 4 ordinary detectives".
"Investigations should be team-play as well as not exclusive. Every group part of should be means to handle any enquiry by victims of a crimes they have been investigating," he said, adding which any group contingency be quipped with all a difficult collection to support in investigations.
He pronounced which "special crimes" similar to difficult commercial or cyber crimes, or tall form crimes should be rubbed by special skills teams.
Hanif noted which dual things have been dragging down a military image:
"First, a notice of incre! asing cr ime as well as relative miss of security it doesn't matter which a world rates us as being among a safest countries in a world: public notice is some-more important.
"Second, a relative low series of successful prosecutions compared to series of index crimes or so-called solved crimes."
