The Din-Al-View CPF has been hard at work with several different projects, within their patrol area.<\/p>\n
One such project was a fun-filled \u201cEaster Egg Hunt with a Twist\u201d, which the CPF held last Saturday at the Christian Faith Fellowship Church (CFF) in Albemarle.<\/p>
The event was not only about hunting Easter eggs, it also boosted a Pop-Up-Market which included a variety of stalls offering a variety of creative and household items for sale.<\/p>\n
\u201cSpecial thanks go out to Special Operations Group Security (SOG) who had two stalls at the market, one for SOG Security, and the other for Defensive Training Systems (DTS), which is affiliated to SOG,\u201d said Teresa Robertson, public relations officer for the CPF.<\/p>
The CPF was thrilled with the support of the event.<\/p>\n
\u201cA huge thank you goes to CFF who allowed us to use their premises as well as their equipment to set up our obstacle course for the event, free of charge,\u201d said Robertson.<\/p>\n
Another project the forum focused on includes the ES@H (Elderly Safe at Home) project, which is now fully operational.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe appeal to all the elderly residents of Sector Five (which includes Dinwiddie, Albemarle, Union and Norton Small Farms) to join Es@h,\u201d said Robertson.<\/p>\n
For more information on Es@h or if you wish to serve on the committee contact Es@h chairperson Mariam Ramjass on 084 587 5525 or alternatively contact Robertson on 076 941 6989.<\/p>\n
Another project will see the CPF placing community notice boards at some cr\u00e8ches, shops and garages throughout Sector Five.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also plan to upgrade our current radio network in general.<\/p>\n
\u201cCurrently, we are finding that our signal is not always strong enough to hear each other, especially as the distance increases,\u201d Robertson said.<\/p>\n
The forum is appealing to businesses in the area to assist with sponsorship in this regard.<\/p>\n
Interested parties can call Robertson or Vaughn Jones (chairperson) on 082 422 8604.<\/p>\n
The CPF is once again appealing to the community to get involved in the fight against crime by becoming a member.<\/p>\n
\u201cMembers have access to information via WhatsApp groups and a radio network within the sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cPolice and security companies\u2019 reports are also made available at our monthly meetings, generally held on the last Thursday of the month at 6.30pm in the Dinwiddie High School hall,\u201d said Robertson.<\/p>\n
