aRREsts bRouGht to tRIal
The disparity between the number of arrests
and the number of number of arrests brought
before a court of law can be further reduced.
A number of factors contribute to the lack of
trials, primarily a shortage in policing resources
including investigating officers and forensic teams
to properly investigate criminal incidents. While
this problem is a key focus of GTP 2.0, efforts have
already been made in 2012 to help alleviate this
problem.
The PDRM have started to outfit their officers
with Mobile Card Acceptance Devices (MCADs),
which help officers with their investigations by
connecting them with a centralised database.
This database contains information on stolen
vehicles and parts, as well as other important
forensic data.

REDUCING INDEx CRIME
Despite the successes of the CRI NKRA’s GTP 1.0
initiatives, it has become evident that more work
needs to be done to win the support of the rakyat.
The NKRA recognises that it is a fundamental right
of all Malaysians to feel safe in their own homes,
and thus greater emphasis will be placed on making
communities more secure.
GTP 2.0 will see the enhancement of successful GTP 1.0 initiatives as
well as the introduction of new ones that will see greater improvements
to policing services. The CRI NKRA’s overarching philosophy in GTP 2.0
is the transformation of the Malaysian PDRM into an intelligence-based
intelligence-based police force as opposed to one based upon sectorbased
policing.
Another key change in NKRA’s approach to reducing crime is to increase
its focus on preventing house break-ins. The decline in street crime has seen
a corresponding increase in the number of house break-ins, suggesting that
criminals may be changing their patterns. The greater number of initiatives
tailored to increase community awareness and policing efforts, including the
motorcycle patrol unit (unit rondaan bermotosikal), are designed to reduce
such incidences.
The CRI NKRA GTP 2.0 programmes are divided into four main areas as
detailed in the table below:
Prevention of vehicle theft
Prevention of vehicle theft (target hardening)
Collaborative enforcement on illegal workshops
