CPF is not only about patrolling
There is a misconception that joining the Community Policing Forum (CPF) means you will be expected to patrol streets late at night.
The CPF executive chairperson for the Ekurhuleni Central Cluster, Reza Patel, said it will not be expected of you to be involved with the CPF on an operational level once joining, although it would be an advantage if you could.
Patel said the CPF has a lot to offer.
By joining the Benoni CPF, you could opt to assist victims of crime, assist with fund-raising and promote the organisation, or join many of its other portfolios.
“It is about you sitting at your window and looking out there, where you have a bird’s eye view of what is going on there,” said Patel.
He said you could report suspicious activity in your neighbourhood from the comfort of your own home.
