Simon's Town Community Police Forum

CCTV Latest News

Objectives
The purpose of the Police Forum is essentially to support the SA Police, giving whatever help is in its power to do, with particular accent on crime prevention and to act as a common forum for the exchange of information between all local law enforcement and allied bodies, as well as the community at large. Funds may be raised and allocated where required and at any given time there is usually at least one special project underway. The current project is the implementation of a CCTV system for the town. You can read more about this by clicking on the CCTV Latest News link at the top of this page. The association is regulated by operating terms and conditions that apply to all Police Forums throughout the country.

Membership
In terms of the Constitution of our Community Police Forum, membership of the Forum is open to communitybased organisations and institutions; All members of the public are welcome to attend the open meetings held at the Old Library Hall, Municipal Buildings, Simon's Town, at 17h00 on the last Monday of every alternate month.

If you would like to actively participate in Forum matters we urge you to join one of the town’s many organisations.

Executive
The executive committee is comprised of Chairman, Vice Chairman, Treasurer, Station Commissioner, Secretary and any other coopted members as required. This committee meets once a month in addition to the Forum meetings, to expedite matters that require urgent attention.
