Through reliable sources and findings it is said that a very marginal percentage of biased citizens have changed the way they talk about crime preventers and the concept of crime prevention in that they bring more attention than ever to anything negative done by any crime preventer while leaving positive stories out of the line-up.
The seeds of this hate campaign were planted as early as 2013, following the group’s unwavered loyalty towards police administration and commitment to sharing information which has led to mass reduction in crime.
While addressing all area commanders, Kampala Metropolitan Police Commander CP. Frank Mwesigwa ordered for an immediate provision of security to the crime preventer leaders.
‘’We shall keep guarding their homes and movements so that they don’t encounter any serious attacks from wrong elements of the public”, Mwesigwa said.
