SEBOKENG. In a bid to enhance safety and halt criminal activities, the Sebokeng SAPS joined forces with more than twenty private security companies in a strategic meeting recently

The gathering, hosted by Constable Abram Mafereka from the Sebokeng SAPS Firearm Registration Centre (FRC) and Social Crime Prevention Unit, brought together key players in the private security sector operating within Sebokeng and was aimed at strengthening cooperation and outlining joint crime prevention efforts.

The meeting was aimed at addressing the following:

– Building partnerships with Private Security Companies
– Guidelines on conducting compliance inspections in non-official institutions in terms of Sec 109 of the Firearms Control Act
– Working together with Sebokeng SAPS in fighting crime in the area

Police spokesperson, Sergeant Nthabiseng Mokhachane said, “Crime fighting is not a one-man job. With the combined efforts of law enforcement and the private sector, we are building a united front that criminals will find hard to penetrate.”

Sebokeng Police Station Commander, Brigadier Thembekile Kubone expressed her gratitude for the turnout and the positive spirit of cooperation.

“Together we stand, divided we fall. Our success lies in our unity. When SAPS and the community, including security stakeholders, work as one, the results will be felt on the ground,” she said.
