As part of the on-going fight against crime and making the festive season safe, the MEC for Community Safety in Gauteng Ms Faith Mazibuko will tomorrow, 01st December 2011, launch the festive season community patrollers’ visibility project.
This initiative will involve the deployment of patrollers in identified hotspots across the province to support the festive season plan and enhance visibility. The deployment is a force multiplier aimed at enhancing visibility and will contribute to the Law Enforcement Agencies’ festive season crime combating plans.
