Sy is nie aangestel omdat sy ‘n vrou is nie, maar omdat sy die beste kandidaat vir die pos is, het die burgemeester, Andr\u00e9 Truter, oor die Saldanhabaai-munisipaliteit se nuwe hoof van polisi\u00ebring en wetstoepas-
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sing ges\u00ea.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lindie Kleynhans is Vrydag (5\u2009September) amptelik ingehuldig, hoewel sy die pos al sedert Junie vanjaar beklee.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lindie is die eerste vrou in di\u00e9 pos en met 28 jaar ervaring in die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens tot op die vlak van brigadier bring sy nasionale ervaring, strategiese bestuur en ‘n mensgerigte styl na die tafel.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“My sterk punt l\u00ea daarin om vernuwing met dissipline te balanseer \u2013 ek glo aan opleiding, tegnologie en nuwe benaderings, wat die gemeenskap se vertroue verdien. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Dit is ‘n groot eer om hierdie rol te vervul in ‘die beste munisipaliteit in die land’,” s\u00ea Lindie, wat dit ook as haar roeping beskou om die gemeenskap te dien.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“My ervaring gee my ‘n sterk fondament, maar my fokus is om nuwe maniere te vind om ou probleme aan te pak \u2013 met vars denke en vernuwende oplossings.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
herstruktureer\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lindie wil saam met haar span wys dat plaaslike wetstoepassing ‘n belang-\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
rike pilaar van reg en orde is \u2013 “en dat ons dit slimmer en meer proaktief kan doen”.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haar visie is gemeenskapsgerigte, maar ook data-gedrewe en proaktiewe wetstoepassing. “Ons kan nie net reageer nie \u2013 ons moet patrone ontleed, bronne vervolmaak en vooruit dink. Ek glo ons kan ons bestaande hulpbronne beter benut en steeds ‘n groot verskil maak.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir die eerste jaar gaan Lindie op die herstrukturering van die span, die verbetering van dissipline en die optimalisering van hulpbronne fokus. “Ons het reeds prestasiestelsels en beter skofbeheer ingestel \u2013 die eerste stappe na ‘n meer professionele en gefokusde wetstoepassing.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lindie glo aan boots on the ground \u2013 “sigbare, toeganklike beamptes”. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Wanneer die gemeenskap sien ons is ernstig oor reg en orde, bou dit vertroue en respek. Veiligheid is ‘n spanpoging. Ons gebruik nuwe platforms en projekte om inwoners meer betrokke te kry, want elkeen se rol tel in die handha-\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
wing van orde.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
balans\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op ‘n vraag oor die balans tussen streng wetstoepassing en ‘n diensgerigte benadering, antwoord Lindie sy glo aan ferm en professionele optrede. “Reg en orde is nie onderhandelbaar nie, maar ons doen dit met ‘n diensgerigte benadering \u2013 met respek en waardigheid vir die gemeenskap.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haar planne om die wetstoepassingsbeamptes te ondersteun en te motiveer, sluit deurlopende opleiding en mentor-\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
skap in. Sy glo ook aan die gebruik van data- en prestasie-aanwysers om beamptes te help groei. “Dit gaan nie net oor meer mense nie \u2013 dit gaan oor beter vaardighede en slimmer werk.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ons het ‘n behoeftebepaling gedoen en werk saam met die raad om toerus-\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ting en voertuie te verbeter. Tegnologie en hulpmiddels is belangrik, maar dit gaan ook oor hoe om dit ten beste te benut.” Hulle kyk onder meer na slim-kringtelevisie met KI-werking, verbeterde kommunikasie en data-ontleding om neigings vinnig te identifiseer.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Samewerking met ander veilig-\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
heidsagentskappe en gemeenskapsorga-\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
nisasies is belangrik vir Lindie. “Reg en orde is groter as net een entiteit. Daarom span ons saam met die polisie, verkeersdienste en gemeenskaps-\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
veiligheidsorganisasies.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy glo ook die private sektor is ‘n belangrike vennoot. “Hulle kan help met tegnologie, finansiering en projekte soos kamera-infrastruktuur en veiligheids-\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
inisiatiewe.” \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lindie se visie is dat die Saldanhabaai- munisipale gebied bekend sal staan as een van die veiligste kusgemeenskappe in Suid-Afrika. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
