The City of Cape Town is expanding its Neighbourhood Watch (NW) Support Programme to bolster local crime prevention groups. The program, which has been in place for 15 years, now has a dedicated Community Liaison Officer assigned to each geographic area in the metropolis. The officer serves as a point of contact for NWs, facilitates training, and provides administrative support during the accreditation process.
The City of Cape Town has placed Neighbourhood Watches (NWs) at the forefront of its strategy to safeguard communities. As crime rates and social issues continue to rise, NWs have become increasingly important in ensuring the safety of communities. The City has implemented a comprehensive program to support NWs, providing them with training and equipment to ensure that they can better serve their communities.
