Petaling Jaya residents had the opportunity to meet and speak to the nation’s No. 1 police officer - the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Musa Hassan in a “Face-to-Face with IGP” dialogue session held on Saturday 6th March 2010 at Dataran Petaling Jaya (opposite Amcorp Mall).

In meeting face to face with many Petaling Jaya residents, the IGP aims to increase public confidence and build closer rapport between police officers and the community, reduce the fear of crimes, and ressure the people that their concerns are being dealt with.

The turn out by the residents were excellent. Although some people were afraid about meeting face to face with police officers, many residents who came were very excited and felt privileged for having this opportunity to meet face to face with the IGP and other senior police officers. It was an effective and meaningful meeting judging by the large number of residents who participated in the dialogue session.

Also present at the dialogue session were Petaling Jaya city mayor Dato' Haji Mohamad Roslan Bin Sakiman, Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar, senior police officers, the All Petaling Jaya Residents Association Coalition (APAC) president Liew Wei Beng and committee members of Residents Association (RA) and Rukun Tetangga (RT) in Petaling Jaya.

Spotted among the crowd were state assemblymen YB Edward Lee (Bukit Gasing) and YB Lau Weng San (Kampung Tunku), who although both not officially invited came anyway to show their support.

Before the dialogue session began, there were police band performance, police cadet marching, and wushu demonstration among others. Later the Police K9 (canine) unit thrilled the crowd with the police dogs displaying their skills and abilities.
