Communities have been urged to work with police, the army, and law enforcement during Operation Prosper and beyond.
It comes as the South African National Defence Force has arrived in the Cape Flats to support the police in their crime fighting efforts.
The City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security JP Smith says that all forms of law enforcement must collaborate, share their resources and intelligence to help crack down on the growing rate of violence. “That will depend entirely on whether we’re able to achieve an effective integrated command where we all work together, share information and respond dynamically to the situation. If we’re cooperating and collaborating, we will be far more effective than if the SANDF is left to deploy without crime intelligence every day.”
