The police station started this campaign last year, visiting sections in Phola with the aim of educating and ending domestic violence within families.
The campaign also seeks to help victims to speak out and have perpetrators brought to book.
The station commander was accompanied by his Vispol team including the communications official Sergeant Petros Ntuli, CIMAC official Sergeant Nonhlanhla Monama and the Community Policing Forum (CPF) led by the Deputy Chairperson Mr Jabulani Shabangu.

Residents from the New Largo section were surprised by the visit of law enforcement organisations yet were also grateful for it as they were left educated and were given pamphlets for them to read.
