At least 74 youngsters in Gacaca Sector of Musanze District, on September 22, joined Rwanda Youth Volunteers in Community Policing (RYVCP) to reinforce the existing efforts in raising awareness against crime.
Inspector of Police (IP) Viateur Ntiyamira, the District Community Liaison Officer (DCLO) of Musanze presided over the function to welcome the new members.
The new members brought the number of youth volunteers in Gacaca Sector alone to 162.
While welcoming the new members, IP Ntiyamira thanked them for taking another bold step to join efforts to fighting and prevent crime to further make communities safer and secure.
He also reminded them to desist from unlawful acts like dealing or abusing illicit drugs but rather focus on their education and legal development activities.
“Youth volunteers have done a lot in raising awareness against crime, and no doubt with more new and committed members, security will be guaranteed,” the DCLO said.
He urged them to fight drugs by reporting those involved.
The event was also attended by coordinator of youth volunteers in Musanze District, Theodore Murangamirwa, who pledged continued cooperation with police to ensure that everyone comes on board to fight lawlessness.
Youth volunteers have been essential in crime prevention awareness as well as supporting needy families through construction of houses for them, among many others.
