The objectives of the operation included preventing property crime, enforcing traffic regulations, checking suspicious individuals and vehicles, and identifying persons on the wanted list.
Officers also engaged directly with traders and customers in Pekan Song, providing information about crime prevention tools and resources.
Police distributed leaflets promoting the Volunteer Smartphone Patrol (VSP) application, which allows the public to submit information and lodge complaints more easily.
They also shared updates on commercial crime trends and highlighted the Sarawak JSJK CCID Scam Response Centre hotline.
