Disturbances in several areas of greater Lisbon after
Citizens have prevented countless crimes and saved lives by becoming actively involved in protecting their communities through making such reports or simply being involved as a witness when crime occurs in the neighbourhood. Without doubt the level of response from your police and the efficiency by which they operate is directly tied to community involvement.
By reporting suspicious activities you can help police make your community safer and more secure, reduce crime and improve the overall quality of life.
