The Aberdeen South African Police Service is crying out to the communities of Aberdeen, Lotusville and Thembalisizwe to get involved in their own specific Sector Policing Committee. The Sector Commanders who are police officials of the S.A.P.S. have had numerous attempts in the past year to get these Sector Policing Committees up and running. Meetings have been advertised but the response has not been good.
It is essential for the good of the communities of Aberdeen Town, Lotusville and Thembalisizwe that these ‘forums’ are established. These structures have in the past proved immensely helpful to the residents. It must not be forgotten that having the Traffic Police in Aberdeen Town was as a result of the Aberdeen Police Sector Forum Committee.
On 17th February 2009, a meeting will be held in the S.A.P.S. lecture room at the police station at 16:00. This will be the first meeting to try and establish a working committee.
The Aberdeen Police are pleading with concerned residents of all three areas to attend this meeting, and to assist the police by fighting crime together with them. Their message is to please ACT with the police - “AGAINST CRIME TOGETHER”.
