Phones to tackle Liberia robbers

Phones to tackle Liberia robbers

Liberia’s government is giving away free mobile phones to help residents call the police to help tackle a soaring crime rate.
Each of 400 communities around the capital, Monrovia, will be given 10 phones, pre-programmed with a free police hotline to report crimes.

There will be a prize for the community which reports the most crimes.

Sounds like it could be a good plan!
