New patrol car base boosts KL police efficiency and public safety
KUALA LUMPUR: Police patrol vehicles remain a vital force within the Kuala Lumpur police contingent, serving as the frontliners in maintaining the capital's security. Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) Director, Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa, who launched the Sentul police patrol car base at Jinjang today, said the unit has contributed to numerous successful arrests involving drug cases, criminal activities, and immigration offences. It has also strengthened police presence through patrols, crime prevention efforts, and emergency response. "When we talk about patrols, we immediately think of the patrol cars and the Motorcycle Patrol Unit (URB). Patrols must operate 24 hours a day. "The patrol car unit has achieved numerous successes during my tenure as the Kuala Lumpur Police Chief. They are the 'frontliners' in ensuring Kuala Lumpur remains safe and peaceful," he told reporters. Also present were Kuala Lumpur Police Management Department Chief, Senior Assistant Commissioner Suffian Sulaiman; Sentul district police chief Assistant Commissioner Ahmad Sukarno Mohd Zahari; and Kepong member of Parliament Lim Lip Eng. Rusdi added that the establishment of this new base marks a strategic move to boost MPV operational efficiency and enhance public confidence and the sense of safety. According to him, statistics from last year show that 1,127 reports were lodged, with 1,155 individuals arrested by the patrol car and URB units under Sentul district police headquarters. "This marks an increase compared to the previous year, which recorded 913 reports and 934 arrests," he said. He said the development of the base, located at a former seized-items storage area adjacent to the Jinjang Centralised Lockup, was made possible through contributions, including RM250,000 from Lim and RM15,000 from Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh, among other donors. "The placement of the MPV base in this area was proposed by the Sentul District Police Chief and his deputy before receiving approval," he said. Meanwhile, Lim expressed hope that all frontline police officers in the capital, including patrol personnel, would be equipped with body cameras and dashboard cameras in their patrol vehicles. "I will raise this with the Home Ministry so that priority can be given to equipping Kuala Lumpur police with these devices. "This is important because Kuala Lumpur has a high population and many business centres, which in turn results in a higher likelihood of crime," he said.
