CHAPTER 10
WORK OF DISTRICT FIGHT CRIME COMMITTEES
10.1 DFCCs were established in September 1976, mainly for the purpose
of promoting public awareness of the Fight Crime Campaign through organising
activities at the district level. Since then, DFCCs have developed into a focal
point for community efforts to fight crime and their terms of reference (see
Appendix C(a)) have been broadened to include –
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
monitoring the state of crime and law enforcement in the
district;
co-ordinating district campaign activities;
promoting good relationship between the Police and
members of the public; and
advising the FCC on administrative and community
involvement measures to combat crimes.
10.2 There are 18 DFCCs based on the same geographical boundaries as
the District Councils. DFCCs are independent of District Councils, but the two
are closely related in terms of membership and funding arrangements.
Membership
10.3 DFCCs have an average size of 38 members. Chaired by local
community leaders, DFCCs comprise non-official members drawn from all
sectors of the local community and representatives from key local government
offices. In 2009-10, 536 non-official members, many of whom were District
Council members, served on the 18 DFCCs. The membership lists of the 18
DFCCs are at Appendix C(b).
Monitoring Crime Situation in the District
10.4 In 2009, each DFCC met every two or three months to discuss law
and order issues in the district. They kept under constant review the state of
crime and significant trends revealed in district crime statistics. The meetings
provided a useful forum for district personalities to discuss local crime issues.
10.5 Each district has its own crime characteristics due to geographical,
demographic and developmental differences. In 2009, DFCCs’ attention was
particularly drawn to the following crimes –
