The BNW has been working to protect our community since 2001, setting up street patrols and the Ballito and Salt Rock ANPR (automated number plate recognition) cameras.

This has fostered a community spirit, where residents look out for each other, preventing the fear and carrying out of crime.

The BNW has been an important extra layer of security for Ballito over the past 20 years, consider joining to ensure its operation into the future.
