SANParks has been given a drone that will assist with crime fighting and search and rescue operations around Table Mountain.
The mountains in and around Cape Town in the Western Cape are a massive tourist attraction but the swell of tourists that explore the hiking trails and outdoor destinations make it a hunting ground for criminals. Crime is so prevalent in the area that there are several groups dedicated to warning would-be tourists about crime in the area on any particular day.
“Partnerships are key to the successful fight against crime in Table Mountain National Park and the donation of a drone by the Western Cape Government is one such key partnership where we can combine our resources to prevent and tackle criminal activities. The drone will also assist us with aerial surveillance and help our rangers during search and rescue operations,” comments SANParks Manager, Megan Taplin.
“Creating safer spaces across the province remains a priority of the WCG. We will continue to incorporate and utilise technology in our war on crime. I am also looking forward to handing over a drone to the Central Karoo district municipality, in due course,” Western Cape Minister of Police Oversight and Community Safety, Reagen Allen, said in a statement.
