The Douglasdale Community Police Forum (CPF) has issued a call to residents to join the organisation which ensures collaborations with the community and law enforcement.
The forum has facilitated the relationships with law enforcement of specific sectors and ensured an effective link between residents of the area. An elective general meeting will be held on 5 June to fill open positions in the committee.
The positions which need to be filled are chairperson, vice-chairperson, secretary, assistant secretary, treasurer, crime prevention officer, public relations officer, as well as a youth and school coordinator. Nomination forms for all vacancies are available from the Douglasdale Police Station (Corner Topaas Avenue and Douglasdale Drive, Douglasdale, Sandton) or via email cpf.douglasdale@gmail.com – should you meet the committee’s entrance criteria you may be nominated to join the committee.
The entrance criteria are as follows:
- Nominees must either live or work in the Douglasdale police precinct, which includes the four CPF sectors.
- Be of good standing to enable a police clearance certificate. Fingerprints will be taken before 5 June and nominees are required to undergo police clearance to qualify – a straightforward process that takes place at the Douglasdale Police Station.
- Cannot be a reservist, security guard or anything related to the South African Police Service.
- Cannot be an elected political office bearer.
- Must be a South African citizen.
- Nomination is required from someone who lives and or works in Douglasdale. A proposer and seconder are required.
Where a person is nominated for more than one position/vacancy, separate forms must be used for each position and that a fully completed form with all supporting documentation must be received by 31 May 2019. The CPF has appealed for residents to take the opportunity to be involved in the safety of the community. The special meeting has been scheduled to take place in the evening at the Indaba Hotel on William Nicol Drive on 5 June at 6pm.
