A community voice in local policing.
The Garsfontein CPF is a recognised community structure that works alongside SAPS to improve communication, public participation, accountability and joint problem-solving in the precinct.
In plain language
The CPF helps residents, businesses and community organisations raise local safety concerns through an organised structure and supports cooperation with SAPS.
How the CPF works
Simple, practical and community-focused.
Residents, businesses and local groups raise concerns and participate.
The CPF helps organise community input, meetings, feedback and involvement.
SAPS remains responsible for policing, emergencies and law enforcement.
The aim is better communication, accountability and local problem-solving.
Clear boundaries
Knowing what the CPF is and is not helps residents use the right channel.
Not SAPS
The CPF does not replace SAPS or take over police functions.
Not private security
The CPF does not provide guarding, armed response or paid security services.
Apolitical
The CPF operates as an apolitical community structure.
Not emergency response
The website, Facebook page and forms are not monitored as emergency channels.
