Police today (September 13) announced that the Anti-violence Hotline service (the Hotline) has been suspended.
      
     Police launched the Hotline on September 10 in order to assist in the prevention and detection of crime by receiving anti-violence intelligence including photos, recordings and videos through WhatsApp from members of the public.
      
     Since the Hotline started to operate, a large amount of information was received and at the same time, there were different opinions on the Hotline.  As a result, Police decided to suspend the Hotline. Police will continue to explore various channels to collect information for the prevention and detection of crime.
