What is the CPF?
Community Policing is a policy and strategy aimed at achieving more effective crime control, reducing fears of crime, improving quality of life, improving police service and police legitimacy, through a proactive reliance on community resources which seeks to change crime-causing conditions. It allows the police and community to work closely together to solve problems of crime, fear of crime, physical and social disorder and neighbourhood decay.
In short: Community Policing it is a partnership between the police and the Community to solve safety problems. Why must I join my local CPF? Communities are comprised of many different people, each with his or her own skills, views and innovative ideas that can make a huge difference in the efficiency and effectiveness of the SA Police Service and the manner social crime prevention is approached in a specific area. Word-of-mouth is an effective tool in spreading a message and informed CPF members can empower their communities to have a say in their own safety and eradicate crime and criminals from their area.
Each one of us wants to live and work without fear of being robbed, raped or attacked. By joining my local CPF I strengthen the human network against evil forces and ensure that I, my family, my neighbours and my community has peace of mind and a safe and secure environment to thrive and prosper in.
