Security in Embu Stepped Up Ahead of Holidays
Security has been significantly stepped up in Embu County ahead of the festive season holidays to ensure the safety of residents and visitors. The County Security Committee has announced a comprehensive plan that includes heightened police patrols in towns, market centers, and major highways to deter criminal activities. The operation aims to prevent a seasonal spike in incidents like mugging, burglary, and traffic offenses.
The County Commissioner outlined that the strategy involves both uniformed and plain-clothed officers deployed to all major public spaces, including shopping malls, bus parks, and entertainment spots. The police have also intensified traffic management to curb accidents caused by drunk driving and speeding during this period of increased travel.
Residents have been urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious persons or activities to the nearest police station. The security team has assured the public of their commitment to maintaining law and order, allowing everyone to celebrate the holidays in a peaceful and secure environment. The enhanced security presence will be sustained through the New Year to ensure a smooth and safe transition into 2025.
