Increase in safety escort requests prompts City to boost law enforcement resources
April 14, 2025
|Cape Times
THE City says provision has been made in the draft budget for an additional 222 Law Enforcement Facility Protection Officers (FPOs) for the Escort Service Unit to assist internal departments with the implementation of the City’s projects in high-risk areas.
Just over R100 million has been pencilled in, to be funded by the various Directorates, including Water and Sanitation, Energy, Urban Waste Management and Human Settlements.
Over a seven-month period between September 2024 and March 2025, the City’s Law Enforcement Department has facilitated 1 925 escorts to various service departments, an average of 275 per month.
“We've seen a continued increase in requests for safety escorts, as the statistics show. There is a direct correlation between the quality of services and areas considered red zones and it cuts across departments, from basic services to firefighting and even disaster assessments.
