National police commissioner Fannie Masemola has promised intensive police visibility and several focused operations throughout the festive season
.
Masemola said maximum resources have already been deployed as they seek to assert the authority of the state, regain public confidence and ensure that communities are and feel safe and secure. Masemola added priorities included gender-based violence and femicide as police continued tracking and tracing wanted suspects. “As an organisation, we remain committed to ensuring the safety of women, children and vulnerable groups, not only during these 16 days but throughout the year. Our second focus area focuses on intensifying efforts to combat aggravated robberies, such as cash-in-transit heists, ATM bombings, carjacking and robberies at residential and business premises.
The fifth area focuses on the enforcement of by-laws targeting hijacked buildings, destruction of essential infrastructure, extortion and unlawful sale and the use of firecrackers. The sixth focus area looks into road safety, where we are jointly conducting roadblocks and vehicle checkpoints together with the metro police departments, as well as provincial and national traffic police.
