Highveld Ridge Primary School hosted Captain Loraine Korope and Sergeant Nyeleti Nkuna from the Secunda SAPS for the school’s Adopt-a-Cop programme.

The visit taught learners about the importance of kindness and respect, reinforcing the school’s commitment to creating a safe environment for all.

The programme is a community-police partnership aimed at strengthening co-operation between local schools, businesses, organisations and the SAPS. Its purpose is to support visible policing and crime prevention, build trust and co-operation between the police and the community and improve safety and service delivery in identified areas.

How it works:
A business, organisation, school, church, or community structure “adopts” a police officer or a police unit. That officer or unit continues to operate under the SAPS command and policies.
