Police Minister, Nkosinathi Nhleko, has called on communities to blow the whistle on cop killers.

Nhleko paid tribute to the 68 police members who were slain in the line of duty between April last year and March this year.

In a speech prepared for delivery at the Union Buildings on Sunday, Nhleko, said it's the duty of every law-abiding citizen, who knows or suspects that a police killer is living in their neighbourhood, to blow the whistle.

The Police Minister said there were many ways of discreetly reporting a crime or criminals.

Nhleko called on communities to work with the police in the areas in combatting crime.
