THE Vryheid SAPS held a prayer day on Thursday, September 29, as part of National Prayer Day for police safety.
The men and women in blue took some time out from a busy day to hold a prayer in memory of colleagues who were killed in their line of duty.
September is commemorated as police safety month.
Statistics show that the number of police killings has declined and the SAPS say that this can be attributed to the recent police safety strategy.
The police also believe that they will see better results as they continue to pray.
The department is working towards the mental needs of their officers who face various crime situations daily, some, of which lead to psychological scarring.
