The Germiston policing area is divided into five sectors.<\/p>\n
Sector One comprises the inner city, Gosforth Park, Driehoek and surrounding areas; Sector Two covers Dukathole; Sector Three covers Delville; Sector Four comprises Lambton, Klippoortjie, Denlee, Webber, Parkhill Gardens, Hazeldene and Hazel Park and Sector Five covers Dinwiddie, Albemarle, Castleview and surrounding areas.<\/p>
Germiston CPFs have a mandate for community policing to be successful and it is important for each and every individual of the community to assist in the fight against crime.<\/p>\n
Each of the five CPFs in the Germiston policing area are managed by a committee which constitutionally consists of a chairperson, vice-chairperson, secretary, vice-secretary, treasurer, vice-treasurer and public relations officer.<\/p>
Ad hoc members can also be elected to assist in various structures within the CPF.<\/p>\n
Every five years, volunteers are elected to serve in the structures of the CPF on a voluntary basis without payment of any kind.<\/p>\n
Three of the sectors will be holding AGMs soon.<\/p>\n
