Greetings and thank you for visiting our website.
Information is the lifeblood of Police Organizations around the world and the Honeydew Police is no exception. This website therefore has to serve as one of those channels of information and communication that will improve and enhance that level of trust and co-operation between the Public and the Honeydew Police.
The advent of Democracy has ushered into South Africa Political freedom. However criminals have and are continuing to deprive our Society of the right to enjoy this freedom as a result of their serious and violent criminal activities. They not only threaten the future of our Democracy but have also contributed to the lack of Community and Business confidence in the ability of the Police to create a safe and secure environment for our inhabitants.
Crime is a human phenomenon, it is created, orchestrated and perpetrated by human beings and I am therefore confident that it can be stabilized, prevented and significantly reduced to internationally acceptable standards. The most problematic crimes in Honeydew currently are House robberies, Business robberies, Car Hijackings, Burglaries at Residential Premises and Theft of Motor Vehicles. Comprehensive information in relation to the crime statistics can be accessed via the official SAPS website at www.saps.gov.za . Regular crime trends and tendencies will be posted on the site to up-date you as to what is going on in your neighbourhood. I assure you that the available resources will be fruitfully utilized to Police this Precinct.
The Police alone cannot and will not be able to solve the crime problems of South Africa. The root causes and contributing factors of crime must be identified and addressed holistically. Honeydew is expanding at a rapid rate with the area including informal settlements, small holdings, cluster homes and usual suburbs.
The 3 key focus areas for the Honeydew Police will therefore be the following:
1) Enhancing our intelligence capacity to both gather and analyze information;
2) Community mobilization; and
3) A multi-disciplinary integrated approach to law enforcement involving all stakeholders.
My vision as the Station Commissioner is “ To ensure that Honeydew SAPS becomes the best Police Station in South Africa with the most improved levels of service delivery and the most significant reductions in the levels of crime”
I look forward to receiving information from you to assist us in the fight against crime. If you are in the Law Enforcement field and wish to share ideas or best practices on crime prevention with me you are most welcome. Rest assured of our commitment to Protect and Serve you. Network with us and we will make Honeydew more safe and secure.
Together Against Crime
Assistant Commissioner Oswald D Reddy
