The community police stations that will be closed beginning next month are in Taming Jaya, Bandar Technology, Sungai Tangkas and Bandar Damai Perdana.

“The closure is due to their ‘ad-hoc’ existence. They were set up without any study in terms of job positions, location, type of building and distance between police stations.

“The use of shophouses is not safe and does not meet specifications under the guidelines and regulations for building planning set by the Economic Planning Unit of the Prime Minister’s Department,” he said in a statement here today.

Ahmad Dzaffir explained that the closure of community police stations was not just confined to Kajang but also involved several others throughout the country.

He said police duties in terms of crime prevention patrols in the affected areas would continue as usual.
