Crime-related matters in Region 10 have fallen by 38.7 per cent compared with the corresponding period last year, according to the Commander of Regional Police Division 10, Senior Superintendent John Barker.

Barker also reported a 21.4 per cent reduction in traffic-related matters, attributing the improvement in part to intensified community policing, greater police visibility and additional resources.

The figures were disclosed in a video update posted by the Ministry of Home Affairs.
