The Western Cape Safety Plan (WCSP) has taken a significant step forward with the graduation of 33 newly trained Peace Officers (POs). These officers, consisting of 14 from the Overstrand municipal area and 19 from the Drakenstein municipal area, represent the government’s commitment to reinforcing municipal law enforcement capacity. The training, resourcing, and development of these officers, costing over R 1.8 million, is aimed at enhancing safety and combatting crime in urban and rural communities.
The Law Enforcement Advancement Plan (LEAP) is a collaborative effort between the Western Cape Government and the City of Cape Town, aimed at bolstering community safety and security. LEAP has been making significant strides in creating safer neighborhoods and reducing crime rates in the Western Cape.
