Police station wanted
Parliamentary reporter A community police station in Sydenham would increase a sense of security among local residents, said the member of Parliament for Sydenham. Mr N. J. Kirk, yesterday. Noting' the widespread concern about the "senseless murder" of a Waltham man, Mr Alfred Anderson, Mr Kirk said that he had urged the Minister of Police (Mr
Couch) to reconsider setting up community police stations in densely populated city areas, such as Sydenham. Many policemen wanted to extend' their duties to education and crime prevention, he said. "A lot of local residents would feel much more secure if they had the physical and continuing presence of a policeman who is able to make a foot patrol in the area.” Mr Kirk said.
