We have more ladies on our team,\u201d said Muller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think we will get rid of the GBV monster any time soon, but we are making some headway. If we look at neighbourhood watches there are more women who join in most precincts and I think it is a very positive thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-effective-partnering\">Effective partnering<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Muizenberg police spokesperson Capt Stephen Knapp explained the concept behind the CIB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe idea behind the concept is for police to partner with the community to be more effective in the fight against crime,\u201d he said. \u201cThe CIB members will be playing a supportive role and will be assisting the police during various operations and interventions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CIB is voluntary and open to neighbourhood watch members in the Muizenberg policing precinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Station commander Col Jacqui Johnson welcomed the appointees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe new CIB members will go a long way in improving service delivery in the Muizenberg precinct.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fifteen new Community In Blue (CIB) patrollers, predominantly women who completed their prescribed training, were appointed in the
