Officers from local police stations, including reservists, are not going to be deployed outside their policing precinct. They will carry on with their normal service delivery, at community service centres and crime prevention duties, within their precinct, including event venues. Police officers are not going to be deployed inside the stadiums/venues, but at strategic points like routes, hotels, tourist attraction areas, shopping malls and/or any other concentrated area, including identified crime hot spots in the station area.
