Dear Bedfordview Community and Stakeholders,
It has been a long journey since the election of the interim and new committee, and together, we have taken meaningful steps toward strengthening the Bedfordview CPF. With a dedicated team of colleagues and partners, our goal remains clear: to put the safety and well-being of our community first.
Over the past six months, we have worked closely with Bedfordview SAPS, our security partners, and other role players to promote safety in our area. This partnership has enabled Bedfordview to be recognised as one of the best-performing policing stations in the district, with crime statistics among the lowest in Ekurhuleni. We are proud of this achievement and grateful to all who have contributed.
Another project worth the compliment is our continued work with our LPR partners in the re establishment of the LPR camera project. We thank BHT BSG P&C and RAG for their commitment and funding of this critical mission making our cameras in Bedfordview functional in fighting crime.
On top of this, our CPF patrollers, often headed and joined by our executive members, from Sectors 1, 2, and 3 dedicate their time—often late into the night, in challenging and sometimes dangerous conditions—to serve and protect our community. Many do so without basic safety gear, such as reflective jackets or bulletproof vests, yet they continue their work with commitment and courage.
Beyond patrolling, we have also been able to extend care to the vulnerable members of our community, such as donating blankets to children’s and old age homes during Mandela Month in partnership with Bedford Centre and Bedfordview SAPS. These initiatives reflect the heart of our community at work.
While much has been accomplished, we can not succeed alone. We need your continued support and active engagement. Contributions, whether through donations of safety equipment (such as bulletproof vests, torches, and reflective gear), or food and drink supplies via the Bedfordview Spar CPF trolley, directly help us to keep our patrollers safe and cared for while they safeguard Bedfordview.
Equally important is maintaining a united front with our neighbouring CPFs. Crime prevention works best when we support each other, and your contributions also strengthen these essential partnerships.
On behalf of the Bedfordview CPF, we thank you sincerely for your past support and encourage you to stay connected with us as we continue building a safer, stronger community. Together, we can ensure that Bedfordview remains one of the safest areas in our district.
With appreciation,
Bedfordview CPF Exco
