Reiger Park residents voiced their frustrations during a crime imbizo led by Gauteng Community Safety MEC Faith Mazibuko on May 10, where they criticised the perceived ineffectiveness of the Reiger Park Police station.
It aimed to address community concerns and introduce potential solutions, including a mobile security app, a panic button and cameras in hotspots.One resident, who preferred to remain anonymous, expressed doubts about the mobile app’s ability to address the root causes of crime, citing concerns that criminals could exploit its functionality.
Citing recent incidents, resident Thembile Mitshintshi recounted a harrowing experience of a kidnapping met with a delayed police response, exacerbating feelings of vulnerability and distrust towards law enforcement. ”This situation raises doubts about the integrity of individuals collaborating with those entrusted to safeguard the community,' said Mitshintshi.
“We will also put up face recognition cameras in areas where crime happens a lot. These cameras will be able to recognise people, even if they try to hide their faces.“The police have already identified places where crime happens often. They will also use drones to help fight crime,' said Mazibuko.
