I believe that it is a calling and that God has called me into this position because I am passionate about people and helping people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her vision, as the new commander, is a safe and secure policing precinct in collaboration with community partnerships to achieve success in the fight against crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI will be zoning in on drugs and illegal shebeens and outlets as a lot of crime stems from that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnother focus area is that I noticed that rape cases are high in the area. Some of the rapes are in informal settlements, so these are some of the things we need to address together as police and the community to look at preventative measures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe also need to equip our young people so that they take ownership of their behaviour.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having worked at various police stations including Athlone, Fish Hoek, Ocean View, Simon\u2019s Town and Woodstock the colonel aims to improve service delivery at the Community Service Centre (CSC) and build a relationship of trust between police and the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have met with the Community Policing Forum (CPF) and there\u2019s also a strong Community in Blue presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m also looking at projects at schools that will address the youth and improve partnerships with our existing partners.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWhere there is corruption to root out, there will be zero tolerance as the commander
