VEGA Controls has donated funds to the Honeydew Community Policing Forum (CPF) in recognition of its service to the community. A cheque for R50 000 was handed to Jon Rosenberg and Kevin Thomson representing the CPF. Group director John Groom said, “They are our unsung heroes. They deliver a service to the public, and as a business we support their cause.”
From l: John Groom, Vega; Kevin Thomson, CPF.
The donation has been earmarked to assist in the operation of the trauma unit, which has seen a decrease in funding but provides an essential free counselling service to victims of crime. Community Policing was created by the Police Act of 1995, and it is being used as a philosophy that guides police management styles and operational strategies, and emphasises the establishment of police-community partnerships, with a problem solving approach responsive to the needs of the community. A major objective of community policing is to establish an active partnership between police and the community through which crime, service delivery, and police-community relations can jointly be analysed, and appropriate solutions designed and implemented. The CPF office runs purely on donations. Resident associations, companies and private individuals donate on a monthly basis to this essential initiative, which serves all communities.
