He urged parents and guardians to ensure their children remain indoors during late-night hours. [1]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChildren below the age of 18 should not be roaming the streets past 10 pm,\u201d Ndunda said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposed dog patrols are expected to support police operations, including tracking suspects and responding to security incidents. However, the police chief did not announce when the patrols would begin or provide a detailed implementation schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement comes amid efforts by police and community leaders to improve safety in Gichagi and neighbouring areas. The specific security incidents that prompted the latest proposals were not immediately disclosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Residents have welcomed the proposed measures, saying improved security would help people feel safer in their neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gichagi resident Mark Kamau said security was a concern for everyone living in the area and expressed hope that police would work closely with residents to address local challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposed measures also highlight the role parents and guardians play in ensuring the safety of children, particularly during the ongoing school holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Police-community cooperation is expected to be important in implementing any new security measures, while clear guidelines would help residents understand how the proposed patrols and restrictions would work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, the dog patrols remain a proposal, and police have not provided a confirmed date for their introduction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Police in Ngong, Kajiado County, have proposed introducing dog patrols in selected neighbourhoods as part of efforts to strengthen security and address safety concerns.
