Tshwane community safety MMC Karen Meyer recently urged residents to become involved in their local CPF work.
One such forum is the Wierdabrug sector 2 CPF which operates in Rooihuiskraal and The Reeds in Centurion.
Established in terms of section 19(1) of the SAPS act, the CPF aims to ensure police accountability and effectiveness in the community.
The CPF is established in partnership between police and the communities they serve.
You can get involved with the CPF by volunteering your time, attending community meetings and reporting suspicious behaviour.
Even though the CPF are the eyes and ears of the police in the community, you don’t have to put yourself in danger to become involved.
Appropriate training and guidance are offered and members work closely with security companies and police in the area.
To join the CPF you must be 18-years-old, a South African citizen and not have a criminal record.
It is preferable that you reside, own property or a business in the sector 2 area.
Joining the CPF is free of charge.
The CPF offers various community projects such as the “Know your neighbour” initiative as well as regular patrolling in the area to make it a safer place for all.
They are also actively involved in the community and host regular projects to help uplift the area.
For more information on getting involved contact the Wierdabrug Sector 2 CPF on 076 883 2437, email info@wbs2cpf.co.za or visit their Facebook page.
