The Gauteng Provincial Government has taken a zero-tolerance approach to crime. Premier Panyaza Lesufi says the introduction of the Crime Busting Unit in the province should send a strong message to criminals.
The initiative intends to strengthen the work of the law enforcement agencies.
Gauteng Community Policing Forum chairperson, Edwin Masilela says the deployment of the Crime Prevention Wardens across the province will send a strong message to criminals. Masilela says the new unit will help scale down crime. “It is a very important part. We are happy about it. It is like you are standing a better chance of combating crime. And many of them come from the CFP I can tell you that. But importantly, it is that they will close up those crime spaces in this province.”The new Crime Prevention Wardens will work hand in hand with the SAPS and the Traffic police to report crime and ensure a faster response time.
“No, definitely they will assist as at least for every ward in Gauteng there will be this team that is operating 24/7. Working with the stations that are within those wards. Together with the patrollers and CFP. So it’s a force multiplier for us.”
