Helderberg Community Policing is a registered Section 21 Company (operating without profit or financial gain) which trades as Helderberg Crime Watch (HCW).

HCW is a community initiative, run by volunteer members of the Helderberg community and has been in operation in the Helderberg Basin since the year 2000.

HCW's function is, through monthly public subscription, to serve the community by providing pro-active patrols in participating wards to pre-empt criminal activities, thus making our streets and neighbourhoods safer. At the same time HCW provides contributors with the peace of mind that in the event of an incident or emergency, they can phone the vehicle directly for an Armed Response, 24/7.
HCW presently contracts ADT to provide patrol vehicles and patrol officers that operate under the Helderberg Crime Watch banner. These HCW patrol vehicles differ from the normal ADT alarm response vehicles in that ADT vehicles do not carry out pro-active patrolling. By forming this alliance with ADT, HCW benefits from ADT's sophisticated patrol management infrastructure, which includes a world class control centre and satellite tracking of patrol vehicles.
