The Nelson Mandela Bay District Community Policing Forum coordinates all 18 station-level Community Policing Forums across the metro, giving residents a formal voice in local policing and strengthening the partnership between communities and the South African Police Service.
Community policing in South Africa rests on cooperation between the police, elected community structures and residents themselves. The District Board exists to keep these three partners working together across every precinct in Nelson Mandela Bay.
Provides professional policing, crime intelligence and resources at station and district level, and works with CPF structures as required by the SAPS Act.
Elected, volunteer-driven structures at every police station, coordinated district-wide by the NMBCPF Board, that channel community priorities into local policing plans.
Ratepayers' associations, neighbourhood watches, ward committees, businesses, faith groups and individuals who report, participate and hold the partnership accountable.
Upcoming meetings, imbizos, awareness drives and safety campaigns from the District Board and station CPFs.
