It was recommended at our local Community Police Forum (CPF) meeting on Tuesday that the most effective way for the public to report crime is as follows:
* If, in Observatory, you need assistance from a SAPS patrol car immediately, call the local car 082 302 5525, or Sector Commander 082 302 5436 or the Woodstock Police station 021 442 3121, alternatively the shift commander on 082 469 2522. If you ever experience problems with the response or service please send a short e-mail to <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]. * Alternatively you can phone one of the 2 Vetus Scola cars patrolling right here in Obs 24/7. * 072 055 8680 for the car patrolling on the Hartleyvale side of the railway line * 072 063 1653 for the car patrolling on the mountain side of the railway line * If you do not need immediate, on the spot, Police presence phone 10111. You will be asked for your name and address so that the call can be logged and response recorded. Please ask for and note the reference number for your call so that you can follow up on progress. * IMPORTANT - If you have called one of the numbers other than 10111 please call 10111 as well and obtain a reference number. This will allow you to follow up and check progress. This is particularly important because the amount of SAPS resources allocated to us annually is influenced by the 10111 records. I believe that currently very little of our crime is reported via 10111. This means that we are not receiving our fair share of Police men and money. Please remember, if we do not know all about your problem we cannot do so much to help.
