Germiston Sector CPFs get ready for AGMs
Three Germiston Sector CPFs will hold AGMs soon.
The Germiston policing area is divided into five sectors.
Sector One comprises the inner city, Gosforth Park, Driehoek and surrounding areas; Sector Two covers Dukathole; Sector Three covers Delville; Sector Four comprises Lambton, Klippoortjie, Denlee, Webber, Parkhill Gardens, Hazeldene and Hazel Park and Sector Five covers Dinwiddie, Albemarle, Castleview and surrounding areas.
Germiston CPFs have a mandate for community policing to be successful and it is important for each and every individual of the community to assist in the fight against crime.
Each of the five CPFs in the Germiston policing area are managed by a committee which constitutionally consists of a chairperson, vice-chairperson, secretary, vice-secretary, treasurer, vice-treasurer and public relations officer.
Ad hoc members can also be elected to assist in various structures within the CPF.
Every five years, volunteers are elected to serve in the structures of the CPF on a voluntary basis without payment of any kind.
Three of the sectors will be holding AGMs soon.
The dates are as follows:
• Sector Three: April 8
• Sector Four: April 11
• Sector Five: April 25.
“I urge people to become part of their various sector CPFs and help fight crime within our various communities,” said Pine Pienaar, the Germiston Central CPF public relations officer.
“Crime-fighting starts with having a proper and effective network in place and it is also here where all individuals can play a major role by reporting all suspicious and criminal activities.
“If you feel that you are not comfortable speaking to SAPS officers, this can be done by making contact with your CPF steering structures.
“Please make sure that all crime gets reported, big or small, as small crimes escalate into bigger crimes.”
