Silverton police and CPF team up against drugs
Drug sales to school children are said to be a problem in the area.
Silverton CPF members on Friday paid a visit to the local station commander, asking that extra attention be given to the sale of drugs to school children.
Police spokesperson Warrant Officer Isaac Mculu said the meeting, held a week ago, saw the team strategising on how to strengthen patrols and increase community involvement.
“The station commander promised to address the problem and he also urged community members to report such matters to the police,” he said.
“Communities and police need to work together to fight crime.”
Mculu said the team saw the need to establish CPF community “patrols in blue” the area but needed community support.
He said anyone who was interested in joining the patrols could contact Warrant Officer Nel on 012-845-4000.
“This will help the police to fight crime and criminals will have no chance to commit crime,” he said.
“It is a voluntary job, there is no payment.
“It is a project which was established by the MEC for Safety and Security, all sectors are fully represented by their respective CPF members.”
Mculu said CPF chairperson Attie Serfontein and his deputy Eddie Malebe of Nellmapius sector 2 said they were impressed with the service they received from Silverton SAPS and were looking forward to fight crime together.
