Honeydew Police Spokesperson Warrant Officer Karen Jacobs explains how sector policing works. She says sector policing is a practical form of community policing as it involves policing smaller and more manageable areas.
According to W/O Jacobs, for each sector, South African Police Services (SAPS) appoints a police official who is known as the sector manager. The community, with platforms like the Community Policing Forum (CPF), and its sector manager are active partners in ensuring local safety and security.
She adds that sector policing enables communities to take greater responsibility for their own safety and security, which then improves the relationship between the police and the community.
“This provides effective crime prevention because attention is given to the causes of crime and the factors and circumstances that allow crime to take place in a sector. It also promotes a deeper trust in the police, reduces fear of crime and improves service delivery.”
Among other things, the sector manager involves all role players in identifying the policing needs in the sector and dealing with the root causes of crime and factors that contribute to crime.
W/O Jacobs says the goal is to bring about effective crime prevention by launching intelligence-driven crime prevention projects in partnership with the local community.
