Krugersdorp Police, KHS take hands against crime
The Krugersdorp Police took time out of their busy crime fighting schedule to educate Krugersdorp High School learners on how they can play a role in crime prevention.
Krugersdorp High School (KHS) opened its doors and welcomed the Krugersdorp Police to their premises as they continue to take more measures on crime prevention through their school safety programme.
During the programme learners and teachers were given a brief seminar on the role they can play in assisting the police when it comes to preventing crime.
