We want to remind the Ravensmead police of their failure to uphold the constitution. We emphasised the need for the police to fulfill their constitutional duty to protect citizens, their property, and to uphold the law. This includes ensuring the safety of school children, personnel, and church assets within our community,\u201d says Bastian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He says the lack of service delivery by the police includes failing to address complaints due to the lack of police vehicles. \u201cThe shortage of police vehicles has led to a failure in addressing complaints and emergencies. The police fails to respond to life-threatening emergency calls and this is of great concern. There is also a lack of police proactiveness, visibility, and presence in the community,\u201d says Bastian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other things they are not happy with include unprofessional behaviour, disrespectful treatment of community members and inadequate handling of vulnerable people such as women and children. Bastian says the community doesn\u2019t know or trust the police. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are also concerned about the perceived unwillingness of the station commander to collaborate with the local community and elected representatives, potentially causing division among the community,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ceruc demanded that the police resond to their claims in seven days and engage the brouder community in 14 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Capt Odwa Makapula, police spokesperson from Ravensmead, confirmed that a memorandum was handed over to the police and that it will be dealt with by the district.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Communities of Eureka, Ravensmead, Uitsig and Cravenby (Ceruc) are fed up with the local police station because, according to
