Self-Defense for Safety

Avatar: The Singing Winds The Singing Winds
Idea Submission for The People's Money:
We think the police should offer community activities. For example, they can teach children or parents some self-defense skills, and also teach them how to report crimes anonymously. These activities can be done in schools, churches or community centers because they are very connected to the people.
What is the problem your idea aims to address?
We need more security in the schools. We need more cameras on the streets. The police need to talk or teach people how to report crime anonymously because many people don't do it because they don't want to get involved with the police.
