With over 60 thousand population, the DCE said only Asiwa, the district capital has a police station, a situation that makes the fight against crime very difficult. The situation also served as disincentive to people reporting cases to the police because they have to travel long distances to get to the police station.

He mentioned communities with urgent need of police stations to include Cepgeso and Nsuta No.2.

Creation of police station in these areas will significantly help reduce the rate of crime in the district.
