Community voices needed at crucial upcoming Midrand complex safety meeting
With crime trends under scrutiny, the Midrand Complex Forum calls on the community to take part in key safety discussions this April 18.
Midrand complex managers, trustees, stakeholders, and residents are invited to attend a crucial follow-up meeting of the Midrand Police Complex Forum, scheduled for April 18 at the police station.
The meeting, to be convened by the office of the Vispol commander, will focus on current crime statistics affecting residential complexes, improving coordination between police and communities, and the election of additional forum leadership.
This follows the successful re-establishment of the forum on March 18, where residents, complex representatives, and police officials gathered to revive the structure and elect a new committee aimed at strengthening safety efforts across Midrand.
