Residents support crime-fighting partnership

Sector 7 and Dowry are a perfect match when it comes to fighting crime.

Criminals, beware. Local crime fighters and a security company are taking fighting crime to the next level.

In celebration of this partnership the Sector 7 Community Policing Forum (CPF) members hosted a fundraising braai on 5 December.

They put up their gazebos and sold boerewors rolls to raise funds and create awareness in the community by networking with residents.

The funds raised will be utilised for future projects in the community.

The CPF also recently opened their office at the Total service station at the corner of Robert Broom and Lud Hersch Drive, which is open 24/7.

At the office Dowry security officers will man the two-way radio system, along with cameras in the area in an effort to combat crime.

“We will continue to take hands with local CPFs to ensure the safety of all residents within the Krugersdorp Cluster,” Marcel Jonker, Dowry tactical manager said.

The office also provides a safe environment where complaints, suspicious activity and crime tip-offs can be lodged.

“We wish the Sector 7 community a safe festive season and urge residents not to let their guard down over this holiday period and to remain vigilant.

“Thank you to all the CPF members and patrollers who have supported us this past year and for contributing to making our area safer,” Ernest Treurnich, Sector 7 patrol coordinator said.
