Sergeant Audrey Sefara of the Westonaria Police Department stated that this was done to combat societal issues and the criminal element.
“The visit aimed to educate learners about criminal activities on the school premises. Learners were sensitised on discipline, bullying, theft, drugs, human trafficking, cybercrime and substance abuse, and all crime in general. They were also urged to speak out whenever they phase challenges at school or even at home.
We also informed them of our mandate as police officers which is to protect and support them when they feel vulnerable,” added Sefara.
She added that the learners were encouraged to take their school work seriously as education is their passport to the future.
