Senior police official: Coalition provides a ‘historic’ chance to address crime in Arab locales
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDeputy Police Commissioner Jamal Hakroush says there is a “historic” opportunity to address high crime rates in Arab Israeli communities, noting the inclusion of Arab lawmakers in the ruling coalition.
“We have representatives in the government that can bring what was lacking like budgets and policing to the Arab street,” Hakroush tells the Kan public broadcaster.
Hakroush, the first Arab Israeli to be a deputy police commissioner, also urges introspection.
“Everyone needs to examine itself and it’s impossible to come to terms with existing situation. We need to say honestly that not everything begins and ends with the police,” he says.
