Kempton SAPS embark on a crime awareness campaign
All Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) cases needed to be reported and victims to seek professional help instead of taking each their lives.
The Kempton Park SAPS support head, Colonel Lesomo, recently held a crime awareness campaign in Kempton Park.
She was joined by finance and administration commander Lieutenant Colonel Dormehl and supply chain management commander Lieutenant Colonel Hlolani. Officers from support services also joined.
“The purpose of the awareness campaign was to show community members that the scourge of crime can only be combatted if they work well with the police and report cases immediately,” said Lesomo.

In addition Lesomo and the team advised the Kempton Park community that all GBVF cases needed to be reported and victims to seek professional help.
Kempton Park SAPS spokesperson Sergeant Dipuo Ditshego said police urge motorists visiting shopping malls to make sure that their cars are locked properly and not to leave valuable items in the vehicle that may led to criminals breaking your car and stealing those items.
“Whenever going shopping with children make sure you know where they are at all times.”
