HELPING TO MAKE DORINGKLOOF SAFE
For the last few weeks we in Doringkloof have experienced one or possibly two burglaries (or even attempted burglaries) a week. If not burglaries, then it is the theft of motor vehicles. This is unacceptable. We need to take action collectively.
We can all help to prevent these crimes by:
1. By calling in any suspicious activity immediately. (Do not Whatsapp it!! This only tells those in that particular chat group, not the whole of Doringkloof, while reaction to a Whatsapp message is always too late). If you hear any such report, especially if it is near you, go outside with your radio and give us follow-up reports. Let the suspects know that we are aware of them.
2. If someone calls in a confirmed criminal act, respond immediately by going to the street corner closest to the incident and await further instructions. Otherwise keep a lookout from your garden or window.
3. Participate is any visible patrols being organised. These take place at regular intervals
4. Unlike other suburbs that have continuous round the clock patrols, we feel that if all our residents respond to the radio whenever a suspicious activity is called, then we achieve the same result – i.e. eyes on the street.
Interestingly enough, research here and abroad has shown that ‘visible patrolling’, that is where the potential criminals know that we are watching them, is the best means of reducing crime.
As part of the fight against crime the next mass visible patrol will take place tomorrow, 17 September from 17:00 to 19:00. We would like as many of you participating, even if for only an hour or so. Meet at the New Fatima Café (corner of Glover and Sonja Streets) at 16:45 for the briefing.
COORDINATORS – YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH NEEDS YOU
The Doringkloof Neighbourhood Watch (DNW) has remained a viable and potent crime prevention organisation over the years due to the dedication of its members. One group who have possibly made one of the biggest contributions to the DNW are the group of coordinators. These people have kept a listening watch 24/7 since we started, coordinating whenever potential crime is reported.
It stands to reason that after many years of dedicated service, some coordinators have asked for a break. We now need fresh blood to take up some of the positions vacated by some of these long serving coordinators.
We need you and if you are willing, even just for one session a week or even less, let us know. Volunteers will be given training and a stack of information they can utilise to make the suburb safe.
If this is you, reply to this Weekly Bulletin and the responsible resident organising the coordinators will contact you.
Regards,
DNW Team
