Have you ever wondered how a small group of police officials are able to spread themselves out to service large communities? The South African Police Services in the Kariega region have taken the liberty of sharing some useful information with locals on sector policing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is where police stations are divided into smaller, manageable areas known as sectors. Kariega SAPS has appointed police officials known as Sector Commanders, for every sector in Kariega.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This region\u2019s SAPS is divided into four sectors. Communities and sector commanders will be active partners in ensuring safety in their local surroundings,\u201d Section one commander, Sergeant Cisciro Jonathan explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The role of the sector commander is to mobilise the community in the sector and Kariega Police Station. To act as a liaison between the community of the sector and Kariega Police, as well as act as a crime prevention officer, which involves being responsible for all plans and project to address crime in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the community is expected to attend the Sector Crime Forum meetings to discuss action plans with the sector commander in order to deal with crime in the sector. \u201cWe also want the community to provide information and suggestions for the prevention of crime in the sector, to actively support Sector Policing by volunteering their participation in policing,\u201d Jonathan concluded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
