Cases of domestic violence and drug abuse remain the most reported at Outjo.

Outjo Police Station Commander and Chief Inspector Seun Karupa, however, say they are on alert to respond to any distress call.

Chief Inspector Karupa says since last week, seven alcohol-related domestic violence cases have been reported.

The Outjo Police has since the start of the festive season recorded 86 cases of illegal hunting, stock theft, and house break-ins.

Escalating cases of Gender-Based Violence (GBV), teenage pregnancies and drug abuse have resulted in committees being set up at Outjo in the Kunene Region to help bring the situation under control before it gets completely out of hand. 

Outjo Constituency Councilor, Johannes Antsino says his office is hard at work, collaborating with those committees that comprise private and public agencies, to integrate services and reach more people at risk.
