TMN Cable TV took the initiative this week to organize a gathering of local authority officials, security personnel and leaders of communities in Na Jomtien that have seen a sudden and pervasive upsurge in crimes in their area.
The meeting was held at The community center at the Community Housing Office of the Pattaya District 1 of The Chonburi National Housing Administration. Senior Pattaya and Na Jomtien police officers were there to listen to village headmen and community leaders who voiced serious concerns about security in their areas.
Burglaries and thefts are reaching epidemic proportions. Police have increased patrols of police officers and police volunteers.
They stressed that this is only one part of the response needed to suppress crime and make Na Jomtien a safer place to live in. The Headmen and community representatives were urged to spread the message amongst their residents that local folks need to be more vigilant and report any suspicious behaviour or suspicious individuals to the authorities promptly.
