The main goals of these engagements were diverse, including discussing the Western Cape Safety Plan (WCSP) to ensure a shared vision and focus, examining the Law Enforcement Advancement Plan (LEAP), comprehending the provincial safety budget, analyzing crime statistics per district, integrating and mobilizing a wide range of knowledge, capacity, and resources, and aligning efforts to create a safer Western Cape.

Ultimately, this united effort aims to create a safer environment for residents and reduce the murder rate by half by 2029.
In addition to fostering a shared vision, the IGMEs also provided an opportunity for participants to explore the details of crime prevention strategies. The Law Enforcement Advancement Plan (LEAP), a crucial component of the broader safety plan, was extensively discussed in order to align district efforts. Furthermore, understanding the provincial safety budget and engaging with crime statistics allowed districts to make informed decisions about resource allocation and prioritize areas most in need of attention.
Encouraging an integrated and holistic approach to crime prevention, the engagements facilitated dialogue between districts, promoting the sharing of knowledge, capacity, and resources.
