Arrests alone no go cut crime for long. We need community patrols, youth programs and trust-building with police.

The report mentions weapons and vehicles seized, but it doesn't clarify whether these were linked to every arrest or just a few high-profile cases.

I'm not convinced that arrest numbers alone reflect improved security outcomes, especially without follow-up on investigations or convictions.

Local neighbourhood watches should coordinate with police to report suspicious activity quickly, improving chances of intercepting criminals early.
