At the gathering, Hicken charged residents to continue to give their support to the police, highlighting that the donation is one of many more to come, as the Force sustains its efforts of creating safer communities.

Many of the residents thanked Mr Hicken for his continued support in the community of Kaneville, noting that since his previous outreaches, many systems were put in place and crime has reduced continuously.
