Security

Crime Prevention Initiative

The primary purpose of the Security Cameras Fund is to support the upkeep of the License Plate Recognition (LPR) and the surveillance cameras at the entrance to Pringle Bay. This system is linked to the National Vehicle Intelligence Cloud (NAVIC) system which is widely used by law enforcement agencies countrywide. It is a critical tool for identifying and tracking vehicles involved in criminal activities in our area. This tool has proven to be extremely valuable in assisting law enforcement agencies in the execution of their duties.

System upgrades, software licenses and occasionally hardware replacement need to be funded and this is made possible by donations from the Pringle Bay community. In the longer term, alternate or additional security surveillance systems and concepts may be explored and implemented.

Exploring further Security Options

The PBRA and the Pringle Bay Street Watch (PBSW) continuously work together to investigate new technologies and concepts to enhance our capabilities towards achieving and implementing effective solution(s) for improving the safety and security of the town and the community. The goal is to implement more sophisticated camera and operational technologies to reduce, and as far as possible, eliminate criminal activity in our environment. This is a long-term initiative which is rolled out on a continuous basis to ensure relevancy.

Working with others

We actively engage with the Hangklip – Kleinmond Community Police Forum (CPF) and the Kleinmond Police Joint Operations Committee (JOCOM). We are also actively supporting and receiving support from neighbouring Neighbourhood- and Street Watches.
