Bedfordview Community Police Forum (BCPF), together with members of SAPS and donors, launched the much-needed boardroom facility at the Bedfordview Police Station on July 18.
Alison Grobbelaar, the BCPF’s PRO said the project kicked off on July 7 and was completed on Mandela Day.
The venue will be known as the Mandela Boardroom and will be used by the SAPS and BCPF.
She said the initiative received support from Col Justus Geustyn, station commander of Bedfordview SAPS.
“Achieving the success we did with this project would not have been possible without those who contributed towards the success and the generosity of sponsors from our community,” said Grobbelaar.
