Mchunu says police should rather arrive late then show up ill prepared. " Whether its a robbery or a shooting, police officers must not show up to crime scenes alone and unarmed, they must think." 


He says Criminals will fear their presence, "When police respond to calls, they must do so in sufficient numbers and be well prepared."
