Reverse your vehicle in the driveway in order to have better observation of your surroundings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always be in control of your property and do not leave your cellphone, purse or handbag unattended.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be alert and aware of your surroundings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When visiting the beach make sure your valuables are within your control. Children should be looked after by a responsible adult when at the beach.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When you leave your home, make sure all doors are locked, windows closed and your alarm is activated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you are a visitor to Table View make sure you know how to get to the police station or hospital in an emergency and save important numbers such as 107 and 10 111 to your phone or the police station 021 521 3300. Note that load shedding may impact the landlines, so it is advised to call 10111.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find out how you could join your local neighbourhood watch to become involved and follow their Facebook pages for regular updates on activities and crime awareness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Table View police are urging the community to stay safe this
