KUALA LUMPUR: The drive to reduce street crimes is moving into high gear with Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein being personally assigned a senior police officer.
Senior Asst Comm (II) Datuk Wan Ahmad Najmuddin Mohd has been seconded as special officer to Hishammuddin.
SAC Wan Najmuddin will be based at the ministry and report directly to Hishammuddin on efforts to to reduce street crimes by 20% by the end of 2010.
“Security and public safety is the core business of my ministry. I am encouraged by the fact that this fight against crime has been made a national KPI (Key Performance Indicator) spearheaded by the Prime Minister himself,” Hishammuddin said.
The crime target tops the list of six National Key Result Areas (NKRAs) announced by Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak in July, with Hishammuddin named as lead minister in charge of crime prevention.
SAC Wan Najmuddin, 51, was legal and policy head at Bukit Aman before being handpicked by Hishammuddin.
He holds a law degree from Universiti Islam Antarabangsa and a Masters in Social Science (UKM), and was also legal and investigations head of the Police College and ADC to the Raja Permaisuri Agong.
