Atlantis Police Station Commander Michael Ledimo says police are ready for the coming festive season.
“Preparation and proper planning have been done in partnership with all other relevant role-players,” he said.
“These include Law Enforcement, Metro Police, the neighbourhood watch and other crime fighters of the community.”
Saps has issued the following safety tips to residents:
. Please do not drink alcohol before going swimming.
. Do not leave any valuables in car.
. Do not throw any glass objects into the sea or pools.
. Keep a close watch on your children and loved ones.
. Do not drink and drive.
. Please make sure all your doors are locked before going to bed.
. Any person leaving their homes should inform the Atlantis Saps at its Community Service Centre and complete a Saps 2 form at the counter.
. Handbags should not be left in shopping trolleys at all.
. Rather pay your bills with your bank card at the till points and refrain from collecting cash at the ATMs.
. Never walk with large amounts of cash on you.
Ledimo and his staff also want to wish the community a blessed festive season and offer their best wishes for 2019.
He also urges the community to continue to share crime-related information with Saps.
