THE Western Cape Department of Police Oversight and Community Safety's Annual Report 2024/25 revealed that 480 Neighbourhood Watch (NHW) groups were accredited, 259 of them in 2024/25, and that 81 Community Policing Forums (CPFs) received R998 000 to improve oversight and public participation in local policing.
Key achievements highlighted in the report include:
Youth empowerment: 682 young people were supported through the Chrysalis Academy, where they received crucial life, leadership, and employment skills. These initiatives directly align with the provincial government's objective of restoring dignity and well-being within communities.
Community-led safety: The accreditation of 480 Neighbourhood Watch (NHW) groups (259 of which were accredited in the 2024/25 financial year) has significantly strengthened community-led safety efforts.
