The sector’s boundaries are Beyers Naude in the north, Christiaan de Wet in the west, the N1 in the east and Wilhelmina Drive/Constantia Drive in the south. It is a vast area. Within the sector we have a number of resident associations. A resident association (RA), also called a block watch or neighbourhood watch, is an area where the residents have decided they need to get involved in the fight against crime. They have decided on various measures to combat crime, amongst others, being the erection of cameras, Whatsapp groups and the appointment of a dedicated security company to patrol their streets. The police cannot prevent crime on their own and neither can a security company. It takes all three entities, police, security companies and you, working together to fight crime. I urge you, if you are not already an RA member, to please get involved and support your community. The initiatives of an RA are to the benefit of all. Please see where you fit in and contact your chairman. All contact details on following page. We have some RA’s that have been running for many years and are very successful and we have some new kids in the sector. The chairpersons support one another and are in regular contact. I hope to bring you a regular newsletter on what is going on in the sector. Please support your RA as only together can we make a difference. To quote John Donne, “no man is an island”.

HONEYDEW SECTOR 2 Community Policing Forum

GENERAL

Message from Chairman – John Baisley

Hi all fellow neighbours in Honeydew Sector 2,

Sector 2 of the Honeydew policing precinct is one of four sectors that falls

under the Honeydew police station. The sector’s boundaries are Beyers

Naude in the north, Christiaan de Wet in the west, the N1 in the east and

Wilhelmina Drive/Constantia Drive in the south. It is a vast area.

Within the sector we have a number of resident associations. A resident

association (RA), also called a block watch or neighbourhood watch, is

an area where the residents have decided they need to get involved in

the fight against crime. They have decided on various measures to

combat crime, amongst others, being the erection of cameras,

Whatsapp groups and the appointment of a dedicated security

company to patrol their streets. The police cannot prevent crime on their

own and neither can a security company. It takes all three entities,

police, security companies and you, working together to fight crime.

I urge you, if you are not already an RA member, to please get involved

and support your community. The initiatives of an RA are to the benefit of

all. Please see where you fit in and contact your chairman. All contact

details on following page.

We have some RA’s that have been running for many years and are very

successful and we have some new kids in the sector.

The chairpersons support one another and are in regular contact.

I hope to bring you a regular newsletter on what is going on in the sector.

Please support your RA as only together can we make a difference.

To quote John Donne, “no man is an island”. Do not under estimate the

value of an RA. More on an RA next time.

Stay safe,

John Baisley

SAPS

The recent crime statistics that were released for the last financial

year do not make for pleasant reading. Of course we need to

look at the stats for Honeydew and furthermore to crimes that

largely relate to our sector. Whilst we cannot breakdown the

crime for the sector we do note that over the past months;-

- Burglaries,

- Theft of cars,

- Theft out of cars,

- Hijacking and

- Home invasions

have been our biggest concerns. These crimes are largely

preventable by the partnership mentioned above.

Sector 2 Fun Run

A sector initiative that was started some time ago is the annual sector 2 Fun Run. It brings residents

from all over together in a crime awareness event and also in support of the Honeydew Trauma

Unit. The 2016 event was held on 10 September and we, as the sector 2, committee thank all of

those that attended. It grows ever year.
