1) Establishing and maintaining a partnership between the community and the Service.
2) Promoting communication between the Service and the community.
3) Promoting co-operation between the Service and the community in fulfilling the needs of the community regarding policing.
4) Improving the rendering of police services to the community at national, provincial, area and local levels.
5) Improving transparency in the Service and accountability of the Service to the community.
6) Promoting joint problem identification and problem-solving by the Service and the community
The role of the community is as follows:
1) Attending the community police sub forum meetings to discuss action plans with the sector commander in order to deal with crime in the sector.
2) Participating in neighbourhood initiatives to safeguard the area in which they live, work and play.
3) Taking ownership of community policing and support the SAPS in the enforcement of the law.
The Norkem Park CPF is part of a larger national structure that is interconnected with the National SAPS Structure. All residents in the Norkem Park precinct are encouraged to join the current existing structures in the different sectors with regards to patrolling, street committees and neighbourhood watches.
