Maj. Stanniskvg Posidevski from UN Police said Community policing helps police by finding support in the community as it helps link freely with community to identify arrest and contain the emergencies that might arise. “We do this by identifying Police Community Relation Committee (PCRC) together with UNMISS, talk with youth leaders to avoid conflicts, community policing started in 2012 but we will go down to counties, payams and bomas in collaboration with the youth,” said Capt William Duol, the Director of Community Policing in Unity State. “Without community policing it is very difficult to investigate crimes,” said Maj. Posidevski. So far seven stations of community policing have been trained and every block in Bentiu town has its own chairman to link the police with the community. Community policing is part of the collocation that the UNMISS is currently engaging between the wing of security, rule of law and justice system and government authorities in Unity State.
