History

The Muckleneuk Hill Security Initiative was officially started in March 2013 when a few residents got together to address the increasing crime problem in the area. This is an initiative driven by residents to improve safety in the suburb and is run on a purely voluntary basis.

Community driven security initiatives elsewhere have successfully proven to:

• - Make residents feel safer
• - Dramatically reduce crime incidences (some to zero)
• - Increase property values

The steering committee gained knowledge from other neighbourhoods which had successfully implemented schemes to combat crime and believe that a scheme like this in our neighbourhood could produce similar results. The success would depend on the amount of support from the residents. With our current camera project, MHSI with SafetyNet are leaders in detecting and preventing crime.
