We need to assist the police and that does not mean in any formal sense. It simply means we look out for our safety as much as possible, lessening the burden for our men and women in uniform and thereby showing empathy for the force whose duty it is to protect us. Ensure good surveillance in residential societies with CCTV cameras making life easier for the cops. Register domestic help with the nearest police station.

Senior citizens can also inform the nearest, local police station if they live alone. Make sure home doors are secure and you have a peep hole to ensure you know who is at the door. Double doors are good, so that there is one more safety layer for homes. Do keep phone numbers and emergency numbers at hand.
