10. Sector Policing Due to its large policing area, the station had planned to have 12 sectors, but they were clustered together to form six sectors which were all at phase 5 of implementation. Monthly meetings were held. It was reported, however, that sector 1 (Section A - the hostel) had a lukewarm reception for sector policing as it did not fully participate in policing matters. This was ironic for a sector that had most crime problems and produced 70% of the station's murder rate. It was said that perhaps sector-1's apathy originated from the lack of ownership in the area; hence most of its inhabitants were migrant workers who, perhaps, did not feel that the problems of that area were theirs.
