Community partnership in action at La Horquetta!
On Saturday, 15th August 2026, Vision on Mission joined the La Horquetta Police Station, Greenvale Park Police Youth Club, and residents of the surrounding community for a Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) exercise at the unfinished Community Centre on Cove Avenue, Greenvale Park, La Horquetta.
Approximately 20 participants came together to clear overgrown vegetation and accumulated debris from the property, improving visibility from the roadway and strengthening natural surveillance—an important CPTED principle that helps communities deter criminal and antisocial activity.
Vision on Mission was represented by Chairman Dr. Oluyemi Mashama, alongside programme participants Mr. S. Daniel, Mr. Farrell, Mr. Ali and Mr. John. Their participation is a powerful example of how rehabilitation and reintegration can provide individuals with opportunities to make meaningful, positive contributions to their communities.
Led by Sgt. Steele, Officer in Charge of the La Horquetta Police Station, with support from Cpl. Kingston and other officers, the exercise brought together law enforcement, young people, residents and rehabilitation programme participants around one shared goal: a safer La Horquetta.
While further work remains, the first phase has already made a significant portion of the property more visible and accessible. Another community exercise is planned to complete the clearance.
At Vision on Mission, we believe community safety is a shared responsibility. Through rehabilitation, reintegration, youth engagement, environmental improvement and strong community partnerships, we can help create safer, stronger and more resilient communities.
Together, we are doing the right thing—the better way!
