Members of AfriForum\u2019s Alberton, Brakpan, Germiston and Springs neighbourhood watches received training in crowd control and radio procedure on 10 and 11 April 2019. This training mainly dealt with the mandate of patrollers during riots with large crowds and the dos and don\u2019ts of radio communication procedures.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Thomas van Dalen, AfriForum\u2019s National Training Manager, presented the training that about 55 members of the East Rand neighbourhood watches attended.<\/p>\n
According to Van Dalen professional training is a necessity for any safety structure.<\/p>\n
\u201cMembers of AfriForum\u2019s neighbourhood watches should act within the framework of the law at all times. Furthermore it is important that these members receive the correct training \u2013 for their own safety as well as that of the community.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is encouraging to see the involvement of community members and how everyone is willing to prioritise the safety of their own community,\u201d says Hillel Coetzer, AfriForum\u2019s Head of Community Safety for the Northern region.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
