VERSTERKING VAN
HUISHOUDELIKE SEKURITEIT


Misdaadvoorkoming behels vooruitsiening, herkenning en waardering van ‘n misdaadrisiko, en die inisiëring van aksie om die risiko te verwyder of verminder. Evalueer die swakhede in die sekuriteit van u woning, en neem stappe om daardie swakhede te versterk.
Ondervinding het drie basiese sekuriteitskonsepte gewys:

  1. Die voorkoming dat ‘n inwoner teenwoordig is, en die eiendom goed onderhou, is self ‘n afwering vir misdadigers. Wanneer u weg van die huis is, los die radio aan, en sit snags sommige ligte op tydskakelaars aan.
  2. Fisiese sekuriteitstoerusting is geheel en al nutteloos tensy dit gebruik word.
  3. Die komponent wat mees waarskynlik in enige sekuriteitstelsel gaan faal, is die menslike een.


Leer ken die bure in u straat, en hou ‘n ogie op mekaar se eiendomme.

STRENGTHENING
HOME SECURITY


Crime prevention involves anticipation, recognition and appraisal of a crime risk, and the initiation of some action to remove or reduce it. Assess your home’s security weaknesses and take steps to strengthen those weaknesses. Experience has demonstrated three basic security concepts:

1.  The appearance that an occupant is present and keeps the property in good condition, is in itself a deterrent to criminals. When away from the home leave the radio on, and at night put some lights on a time switch.

2.  Physical security equipment is absolutely worthless unless used.

3.  The component most likely to fail in any security system is the human one.

Get to know the neighbours in your
street, and keep an eye on each
other’s property.

MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD BOODSKAP VAN DIE DIREKSIE

Beste Bydraers / Dear Contributors

We are pleased to let you know that HCW has joined the Somerset West Community Police Forum. The CPF comprises a group of people representing the SAPS and diverse community representatives, and meets once a month at the Somerset West Police Station to address and resolve policing matters in the widest interest of all the communities in the Somerset West area. As you may have read or heard, the SAPS recognises the need to work with communities and security organisations such as HCW to fight crime.

Die SAPD het die Somerset-Wes area in drie sektore verdeel. Sektor 1 bestaan uit die CBD en die gebied Oos van Dummerstraat. Sektor 2 dek die residensiële gebiede Wes van Dummerstraat en sluit ook die Triangle (Mall) in, terwyl Sektor 3 Sir Lowry’s Pass, Rome Glen en omliggende gebiede insluit. Aan elke sektor is ’n SAPD voertuig toegedeel wat nie sy gebied mag verlaat nie. ‘n Bystandsvoertuig wat tussen die drie sektore beweeg, sal ook binnekort beskikbaar wees.

Similar to HCW, each of these sector vehicles has a cellphone and residents are encouraged to contact their sector vehicle in times of need. We need to emphasize that these SAPS sector vehicles are not a replacement for the HCW patrol vehicles, but represent an additional service, and each SAPS vehicle has to cover a much wider area than any HCW vehicle. Contact information for the SAPS sector vehicles:

SECTOR 1:

cell no. 082 411 2703
Captain Adams

SECTOR 2:

cell no. 082 411 2715
Captain Lourens

SECTOR 3:

cell no. 082 411 2036

Patrolliebeamptes van sekuriteitsmaatskappye ondervind soms probleme wanneer hulle op noodoproepe by wonings van kliënte moet reageer en daar honde is. Honde kan beheer word wanneer kliënte tuis is, maar met alarm- of paniekknoppie-aktiverings is daar dikwels niemand beskikbaar om die honde te beheer nie. Die patrolliebeamptes vind dit dus moeilik om die perseel veilig te betree. In ’n onlangse voorval in Kaapstad-omgewing het honde oor die heining gespring en patrolliebeamptes buite aangeval. HCW-bydraers met gevaarlike honde word dus dringend versoek om die HCW kantoor daarvan in kennis te stel. Hondbyte is van die grootste oorsake van beserings aan sekuriteitspatrollie-beamptes.

Housebreaking, and theft of and from motor vehicles, continues to escalate, with the Heldervue/Steynsrust area (Wards 11 & 12) being the worst. With this in mind, we provide some tips on strengthening the security of your home on page 1.

Dit is uiters noodsaaklik dat die gemeenskap betrokke raak by die bekamping van misdaad - meld ALLE verdagte
aktiwiteite aan!

Vriendelike groete
