The Community Policing Forum (CPF) helps keep the community safe, and helps bridge the gap between the community and the Saps.
The forum is also the eyes and ears for the Saps.
How can you help the CPF? Report any suspicious activities in your suburb to the WhatsApp group in your area. The information the CPF receives is then followed up immediately.
If you are an active member of a CPF group in your area, you will notice the efficiency of the CPF and the security companies. Saps is contacted as soon as possible, when the need arises.
Each CPF in each area works differently. They meet once a month at an executive meeting to talk about and help each other with challenges.
The CPF is made up of the Port Shepstone Executive CPF with chairman Selvan Chetty who can be contacted on 083 5561726, Sub-forums and the Youth Desk.
