APPRECIATION AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Bethal Community Policing Forum (CPF)

The Bethal Community Policing Forum (CPF) hereby formally expresses its appreciation to ACSU Security Bethal for the installation of surveillance cameras at the intersection of Golden Ray Street and Van Riebeeck Street, Bethal.

We have been informed that the camera system has contributed positively to monitoring activities within the area. During the early morning hours on a recent date, a person was observed via the surveillance system walking in the street. In accordance with their standard operational procedures, the ACSU CCTV Control Room monitored the situation and dispatched a reaction unit to the location for further assessment.

The reaction unit attended the scene and engaged with the individual present. The matter was handled in a routine manner, and no further incident was reported.

This occurrence highlights the potential value of surveillance infrastructure as a preventative and monitoring tool within the community. The presence of such systems may contribute to enhanced situational awareness and support broader community safety initiatives.

In light of the positive operational support observed, Bethal CPF expresses its interest in exploring the possibility of additional camera installations within sector areas and streets, subject to the necessary approvals, compliance requirements, and available resources.

Bethal CPF acknowledges and appreciates the ongoing cooperation, professionalism, and community-focused efforts demonstrated by ACSU Security Bethal in contributing to public safety initiatives.

Piet Retief Gemeenskap Noodforum

Hierdie noodforum het ontstaan uit ’n oomblik wat ons gemeenskap diep geraak het.
’n Man wat jare lank betrokke was by die veiligheid en welstand van ons dorp, is deur ’n onverwagse fratsongeluk ernstig beseer en het dringende mediese hulp benodig. Sonder mediese fonds en sonder die nodige finansiële middele het dit duidelik geword hoe kwesbaar selfs dié kan wees wat elke dag hulself vir ander gee.

Uit hierdie nood het die noodforum gebore geword – nie net as ’n reaksie op een situasie nie, maar as ’n belofte aan mekaar. ’n Belofte dat ons, as gemeenskap, sal saamstaan wanneer iemand in nood verkeer. Dat geen persoon wat bydra tot die veiligheid en opbou van ons dorp alleen gelaat sal word wanneer hulp nodig is nie.

Deur hierdie forum word fondse verantwoordelik bymekaar gemaak om mense wat aktief betrokke is in ons gemeenskap te ondersteun in tye van mediese of ander nood. Dit is ’n getuienis van medemenslikheid, samehorigheid en die krag van ’n gemeenskap wat kies om om te gee.

Hierdie noodforum bestaan nie net om te help in krisisse nie, maar om ons dorp en gemeenskap op te bou – om hoop te herstel, waardigheid te beskerm en te wys wat moontlik is wanneer ’n gemeenskap saamstaan.

Location: Piet Retief, Mpumalanga

ACSU Security confirms the successful conclusion of a coordinated operation following a remote jamming and theft out of a motor vehicle incident that occurred at Woodhill Mall, Piet Retief.

Information regarding the incident was received from the on-site security service provider, WGI, requesting immediate assistance. ACSU Security Piet Retief responded promptly and, in collaboration with Agri Piet Retief, gathered and disseminated critical intelligence relating to the suspects and the suspect vehicle.

Based on the information obtained, ACSU Security Ermelo was placed on high alert after it was established that the suspect vehicle was travelling in that direction. Members from ACSU Ermelo successfully identified the vehicle and notified the South African Police Service Flying Squad, resulting in an active pursuit towards Bethal.

ACSU Security Bethal joined the operation alongside the Flying Squad. The pursuit continued onto a gravel road in the vicinity of Kriel, where the suspects were successfully apprehended through the joint efforts of the Flying Squad and Stratcorn personnel.

Approximately 20 vehicles were deployed during the operation, spanning from the Bethal area to Kriel, highlighting a high level of coordination, communication, and inter-agency cooperation.
