In many European countries, as part of already well-developed crime prevention efforts carried out with the participation of local authorities and the Police, various forms of self-defence and mutual neighbourhood assistance have been introduced into everyday practice. Therefore, regardless of where you live, we suggest that everyone, to the best of their ability, join the common fight against crime and manifestations of social pathology.
Initiatives of this kind by residents have already taken place in our country and province. They have resulted in the creation of community self-help groups that establish guarded car parks, organise patrols in particularly high-risk areas or conduct preventive activities among residents.
Fear of crime must not paralyse us! Only joint and wide-ranging action will enable us to live peacefully and safely. Nothing is worse than indifference and a lack of a decisive response to all manifestations of evil. Such a situation emboldens perpetrators of criminal acts and increases their sense of impunity. BECAUSE YOU TOO MAY BECOME A VICTIM OF CRIME — DO NOT BE INDIFFERENT — IF NECESSARY, NOTIFY THE POLICE EMERGENCY SERVICE AT 997, alert the police via CB radio, or go in person to the nearest police station!
