CSF – COMMUNITY SAFETY FORUM – (Volunteers) Gemeenskapsveiligheid Forum – (Vrywilligers) COMMUNITY POLICING

Around Seven months ago, in conjunction with SAP Dagamaskop, a community safety forum ( neighbourhood watch) was started in Sector 2 , Hartenbos Heuwels, Menkenkop, Seemeeupark Bayview. The CSF has grown and expanded into Hartenbos, Islandview and Aalwyndal and the membership has grown to around 160 participants.
All of the Sector 2 areas are patrolled around the clock where it is possible, specifically at night and crime prevention has been very successful. The ATKV management has come on board and we work very closely with them in combatting crime in our area.
We are asking that the community gets more involved in our venture as it is all community based and for the betterment and benefit of our local community.
Please be vigilant during the holiday season as there are always incidents of petty crime in the area when house windows are left open, articles are left in vehicles, handbags, wallets, laptops and cellphones “disappear”.
Those in the camping areas, please try to lock valuables away and secure bicycles, scooters, surfboards and other loose articles that are easy to ‘carry’ away when these are not being used. There is always excellent security presence in these areas, but without the co-operation of the visitors, it is impossible to protect these areas effectively.
Always ensure that your vehicle locks properly when parking it. Park in safe areas and take note when approaching your vehicle on your return.
Be very aware when using ATM’s in the area.
