Today and tomorrow, 26 to 27 November 2014, Western Cape MEC of Community Safety, Dan Plato, will host the Provincial Policing Needs and Priorities (PNP) consultation processes for the various police clusters in and around Mossel Bay and Knysna.
During these meetings, communities have the opportunity to identify, discuss and confirm the specific needs and priorities facing their communities and engage the MEC of Community Safety, Community Policing Forum (CPF) and Cluster CPF Chairpersons, their respective Neighbourhood Watch structures, and South African Police Services (SAPS) station commanders.
It is important that all communities use the consultation process as an opportunity to have their say on their safety concerns. Through the PNP, the Western Cape Government is committed to working Better Together to increase the safety of all our communities.
There will be an opportunity for photographs and interviews. Please contact to coordinate and arrange possibility of studio interviews or one on one interviews.
This week’s meetings will be the 22 and 23 public engagement as part of the Department of Community Safety’s five month consultation process across the province which aims to gather information from communities on their specific policing needs and priorities. The inputs from all 25 meetings to be held in the province will be included in the PNP report to be submitted to the National Minister of Police for his consideration when determining where different policing resources are needed.
All media are invited to attend.
