The Community Police Forum (CPF) in Knysna is a partnership between the local police, the municipality, and the community, aiming to create a safer environment through collaboration and mutual trust.
The CPF operates as a platform where community members, police representatives, and other stakeholders work together to address crime-related issues, encourage community involvement, and establish effective communication channels to enhance overall public safety.
Knysna OWLS (Observe, Watch, Learn, Secure) is a volunteer-driven community group that complements the CPF’s efforts by actively engaging residents to monitor, report, and deter suspicious activities in their neighborhoods. Through their commitment to vigilance and reporting, OWLS assists in extending the CPF’s reach by providing on-the-ground insights that can help inform police responses and community safety strategies.
This synergy between Knysna OWLS and the CPF fosters a proactive approach to crime prevention, enhancing public trust in local safety efforts and promoting a unified community stance against crime.
