Amandel & Surrounds Crime Watch

Amandel & Surrounds Crime Watch Amandel and Surrounds Crime Watch (ASCW) was established in 2011 and is deemed the “mother” of Neighb For The Community – By The Community

Amandel and Surrounds Crime Watch was established in 2011 and is deemed the “mother” of Neighbourhood Watches, now covering various sectors in Kuils River, such as Amandelsig, Amandelrug, Rouxville, Mikro Park, De Kuilen and Haasendal. It kicked off with only three members patrolling all three sectors. As membership increased, it was decided to sub divide into smaller areas and Soneike Buurtwag,

Langverwacht and Surrounds Neighbourhood Watch were born. Amandel and Surrounds Crime Watch is a community driven Neighbourhood Watch, and is registered with the local Community Police Forum (CPF) and the Department of Community Safety (DoCS) of the Western Cape, and is fully accredited since September 2018. Membership is free and it is a non-sexist and non-political organisation. Membership is subject to SAPS clearance, which nowadays includes the taking of fingerprints in order to establish any existing or prior criminal record when applying for membership. Each member is issued with an identity card to be worn by the member when patrolling or when on official duty. Once accreditation has been granted by DoCS, a new Membership ID tag with photo and insignia of both, the NHW as well as the Community Safety emblem will be issued. All members are required to sign the updated and combined DoCS and ASCW Code of Conduct as per the Constitutions of Amandel and Surrounds Crime Watch (ASCW) and the Department of Community Safety (DoCS) of the Western Cape. Full patroller membership is only granted after completion of the Patrol, Radio and Legal training. Trainers are senior members with special competencies, that are appointed by the Amandel and Surrounds Executive Committee. Amandel and Surrounds Crime Watch operates in conjunction with the Kuils River SAPS and local Armed Response Companies, under the SAPS Operations Commander Captain Viviers and Sector Commander Sergeant Compion. Communication by radio is routed through the Northern Suburbs neighbourhood Watch Control Room. Neighbourhood Watch Radio owners as well as Kuils River SAPS and some Armed Response companies are communicating on the same radio frequency. We acknowledge therefore the contribution of the frequency license holder and their technical infrastructure, being part of their Social Responsibility commitment to the community which we, as ASCW members, really appreciate. The main objective of a Neighbourhood Watch is to act as additional eyes and ears for the SAPS and to report suspicious activities. No contact with criminal elements is allowed and members are trained to conduct themselves within the framework of the law at all times. As a Neighbourhood Watch we also provide support in medical, accidents, fire and other emergency situation.

NEW HIJACKING TRENDS

Quote from Businesstech:

“One of the things that has happened, unfortunately – and 2020 was a real game changer – was that the probability that people are ordering stuff to be delivered to their homes has increased significantly.”

Because of this, Ngcobo said that people are now being targeted when they wait at their gate for delivery, with the gate being blocked by a criminal, allowing them to gain entry into the property and access to vehicles.

He added that criminals often take advantage of victims outside sporting events on the weekend, while they are unaware or distracted.

Hijackers take advantage of their victims when they are most relaxed, Ngcobo said, urging South Africans always to be alert and aware of their surroundings.
