Vote for new Florida CPF committees

The Florida Community Police Forum is planning its upcoming Sector Crime Forum elections.

According to chairperson Farhaad Sardiwalla, the Florida CPF structure consists of two Sector Crime Forums, which in turn are made up of the various block watches and neighbourhood watches.

Sector One covers all areas under the Florida policing precinct situated north of Ontdekkers Road, while Sector Two includes areas south of Ontdekkers Road.

“According to the CPF regulations, new leadership structures need to be elected at specified time intervals. This is where we nominate and vote for a new committee, or committee members, who will lead the different structures.

“From these members, the title bearers of the main structure will be selected,” Sardiwalla said.

The Florida CPF is very active in their role, supporting the police in their efforts to curb crime throughout the precinct.

“We are the eyes and ears of the police, and we act as the link between the community and the police. It is therefore essential for people to support this initiative to have a say who represents them during the next term of service.”

Elections for Sector One will be held on October 30, at 18:00, at Laerskool Generaal De La Rey, situated at 12th Street in Delarey.

Sector Two’s elections will take place the next day, October 31, at 18:00 at the Florida Dragon Boat Club.

“We urge residents to put forward their nominations for the new committees in the meanwhile,” he said, adding that the deadline for nominations is at midnight on Sunday, October 27.

Residents who would like to put forward their nominations for the Sector Crime Forum committees can do so by contacting Sardiwalla via WhatsApp on 084 963 1786, whereupon the relevant nomination documentation will be sent to you for completion.

“The selection of the new committees is crucial to the continued efficacy of the Florida CPF in assisting law enforcement agencies and communities in curbing crime in our neighbourhoods,” he concludes.
