Three Douglasdale Police officers: Constable Poloko Seokwang, Sergeant Mokwena and Captain Mpho Tshetlhane are photographed with two staff members and two schoolchildren from the British International Preparatory School.

On 21 January officers from the Douglasdale Police Station started the year with safety in mind.

“The Douglasdale police visited three schools: The British International Preparatory School, Vuleka Primary School and Northriding Secondary School,” explained Captain Mpho Tshetlhane, spokesperson for the station. “[This was] part of an ongoing South African Police Service school safety programme for 2019.”

The officers interacted with both staff and schoolchildren during this visit.

“The purpose of the visit was to strengthen the relationship between the SAPS and the schools, and also to ensure the safety and security of the learners and teachers,” Tshetlhane said.
