"Cabramatta has already lost around 20% of much needed police officers due to the Olympics, we need the few that are left to work together for the sake of everyone" said Fairfield Councillor Thang Ngo.

The Cabramatta community is crying out for action on drugs - the number one problem of Cabramatta according to Cr Ngo.

"During the past couple of days, I have received calls and even faxes from distressed residents concerned that Police aren’t doing enough to tackle drugs in Cabramatta" he said.

"They have also indicated a wish for Police to move quickly to resolve the now apparent internal conflict within Cabramatta local area command.

"Recently, the Cabramatta community was shocked to learn even school children are too scared to play in public playgrounds, such as Hughes St Park in Cabramatta.

Cr Ngo believes only with the direct intervention by the Commissioner will the internal Police bickering in Cabramatta be resolved.

"I know the Commissioner has indicated repeated in the past that there was no need for him to come to Cabramatta" said Cr Ngo.

"However, if there was ever a community that needs him, it’s Cabramatta right now" concluded Cr Ngo.
