NEW CHAIR: ‘SYNERGY NEEDED TO CURB CRIME’
CPF elections held CARINA ROUX
T
he annual general meeting and election of the executive committee for the next five-year term of the Kuils River Community Policing Forum (CPF) took place on Thursday 20 February. CPF elections were due to take place in November last year but were cancelled across the province after the provincial police com-
missioner placed a moratorium on elections last October. The moratorium, following a dispute between the Community Policing Board (CPB) of the Western Cape and the provincial department of community safety about legalities around directives issued by the department to regulate CPF elections, were recently lifted. Col Jayce Naidoo, station commander of Kuils River police, said at the meeting the
local police serve a large policing area of almost 40 square kilometres and a community of around 107 000 people. The area consists of 45 suburbs and mini-suburbs and is split up into four sectors. “We focus on a four-pillar approach to address crime reduction – back to basics, service delivery, partnerships, and a focussed approach.” Naidoo touched on sector policing, leadership, performance management and the role
of partnerships between the police and the CPF, armed response companies, neighbourhood watches and ward councillors, and the role of public participation programmes. With regards to a focussed approach he mentioned high density operations conducted at crime hotspots and the aim to maximise resources together with the partners against crime. V To page 2
