The Athlone Park Community Police Sub Forum (APCPSF) is a volunteer organization made up of residents that are committed to making Athlone Park safer for everyone.
The APCPSF is a sub forum that operates under the Amanzimtoti Community Police Forum (CPF). The role of all CFP's and CPSF's is to partner with the South African Police Service (SAPS) in the fight against crime.
Through our WhatsApp groups, you get early warnings about suspicious people and vehicles that are in area as well as information about the methods that are being used by criminals in the area.
You get access to hundreds of additional eyes looking for suspects and providing information that could help catch the criminals involved.
Working together as a community, we can come up with effective solutions in partnership with SAPS and security companies, lobby for those solutions as a united community and help implement them together.
Rather than waiting to become another victim and a crime statistic, this is something very simple that you can do to pro-actively help minimize your chances of being a victim. Your own property might be very well secured, but the moment you step outside or drive outside your gates, you are exposed to all the same risks as everyone else in the community.
During community events, meetings and patrols, you get to know more of your neighbours and people all over your area. The best way to create a safer community is to create a more closely knit community where everyone knows each other and looks out for each other.
No. We need all the patrollers we can get, but you do NOT need to go on any patrols if you are unable to.
