COPPS 94.1 a busy night again.

Community Orientated Policing and 

Problem Solving or in short COPPS 94.1

is a joint venture between Kosmos 94.1 and 

the Windhoek City Police was stared around March 

2012 to bring to their listeners 

the reality of what is happening on the streets 

in Windhoek after dark, and what the City Police 

and Namibian Police must face daily to ensure 

our safety. 

Unfortunately Namibia sit with a crime element 

that indiscriminately  makes every one a potential victim. 

The Namibian Police Regional Commander for the 

Khomas region, Commissioner Festus Shilongo 

said at several occasions that there is no place for crime in the 

region. Secure Khomas for is a campaign 

to ensure that criminals will be hunted down, making the 

region a better place. 

The Windhoek City Police supplement the initiative 

and work around the clock ensuring our safety. 

During my period as anchor for COPPS 94.1 it is evident that 

alcohol and of lately drugs play a big role in crime. 

Most shebeen owners do not abide by the rules and regulations 

under which they got their trading license, 

and it is not an uncommon sight arriving at a shebeen 

in the townships seeing hundreds of under aged under the 

influence. Most of these teenagers are school going 

girls dressed in skimpy outfits. Then we wonder 

why Namibia is plagued with HIV/AIDS, 

high teenage pregnancies, thousands of OVC's 

roaming the streets and poverty. 

Regardless all the campaigns to sensitize Namibians 

on the effects of the misuse of alcohol, 

it seems some ignore the warnings, while others seems 

to see how far they can push the limits, and when they clash with the 

law? It is some else's fault for not telling them not to drink and drive, 

was not aware of the dangers of alcohol misuse. 

A man arrested for drinking in public. It is a
criminal offense in Namibia. If found guilty
can be fined up to a N$ 1000.

City Police will this festive season
ensure our roads are free from drivers who are under the
influence posing a danger to others and
themselves.
