suggestion and tips:

to solve the vandalism issues, whenever people saw vandalism act occurring should take a picture and report it to the police. police can also patrol more on areas that have been frequently vandalised. we can also develop neighborhood watch programme so that there will be people watching and people will not dare to vandalise. police can also install CCTV so that it can be recorded and police will be able to find the people vandalising public propeties.

to solve the crime issues, police can patrol the more especially during night hours and other remote areas. people can also be more vigilante and be more aware of their surrounding,when alone,walk quickly or call one of your family members to come and accompany you. If you spotted something amiss, quickly move to an area that has more people. People should arm themselves with something that are not lethal like pepper spray.

to solve the little issues, police should have harsher fine people for little and have more NEA people to patrol so as to reduces people littering. Reduce and reuse as much as you can before you recycle. Get the support of your neighbourhood. Successful litter control must be a continuous, ongoing effort, which involves the entire community - from youth to seniors, business, community groups and the media. Organize a committee to develop a plan of action. People should not little  and should Support community cleanups, recycling programs, legislation and other efforts to reduce litter.

To solve the stray animals issue, people should not feed them and do not get in close contact with and do not provoke them. people should report to the animal shelter so that the stray animals can be taken care of and reduce the presence of the stray in the public.When met with the stray animals, do not approach them and move slowly instead of running away as they will chase after you.
