Marburg CPF active in fighting crime
Marburg Community Policing Forum (MCPF) is actively involved in monitoring crime in the area.
A new committee was elected recently and is determined to make Marburg safe again.
The chairperson, Fathima Moosa, said the committee attends Saps meetings at station level on a regular basis.
'The information received from the station has made the MCPF stronger and more able to fight crime in the area. A WhatsApp group was created for the community and people are posting crime-related issues. Security companies were added to the group and they are responding to people who need help.'
The committee has grown stronger and residents have volunteered as patrollers. With more patrollers on board with the security companies targeting hot spots, crime has decreased.
The forum celebrated its third anniversary recently and is proud to be a part of the Saps crime fighting initiative.
'Community police forums are the eyes and ears of the police and follow a code of conduct. A constitution is signed by the members of the CPF and the area has a sector commander,' said Moosa.
The forum will occupy the old rehab centre in Marburg soon. It will be called the MCPF Community Centre, and its executives look forward to assisting the community.
Anyone able to contribute to the renovation of the centre, contact Fathima Moosa on 082 4619541.
