Friday night saw a combined visibility operation taking place with Neighbourhood Watches, SAPS, Law Enforcement and Security Companies.
The purpose was to provide high visibility and to deter anyone with any criminal intent.
Pleased to report that during the period of the ops NO criminal incidents were reported.
Besides the many Law Enforcement vehicles, most of who are auxiliary volunteers, SAPS and security vehicles, there were 78 volunteer neighbourhood watch vehicles.
The area from Wynberg to Kirstenhof, from Plumstead to Constantia was a sea of blue and orange lights.
Many suspicious persons reported in were checked and profiled by SAPS members, LPR alerts responded to and vehicles/occupants checked.
Many thanks to the Plumstead NW who during a brief break midway through the evening, provided snacks and hot beverages for all participants.
In closing, appreciation to all, especially the volunteers, SAPS and reservists, LE and auxiliaries, security companies (BH, Combat, FADT, National, Premier, Prosec, TSU, Zone) – and of course the wonderful controllers at CVIC who see to all the radio coordination, verification of LPR alerts, fielding of phone calls etc.
