INTERESTED IN MAKING A DIFFERENCE?
In 2008 the City of Cape Town (CoCT) recognized the crucial importance of unarmed citizens in
the fight against crime. In due course a task team, the Neighbourhood Watch Task Team
(NWTT), was launched to assist NW’es in fulfilling their mission. Focusing on problem solving
initially, the NWTT later evolved to become one of the primary training providers forcommunity groups in the Western Cape.
Deviating from the traditional training that was
presented by the Department of Community Safety
(DOCS), the NWTT was heartily welcomed by
persons from all strata of society. Its focused, direct
and lean training regime meant that delegates, of all
ages, could step into a room on any given morning and
exit that same afternoon as a powerful change agent
for society. The training is fully supported by DOCS
as well as by the Provincial Community Police Forum.
The training of the NWTT is based on that developed for the International Alliance of Guardian
Angels, who generously made their material available for the use of the CoCT. Unlike previous
training regimes, the NWTT focuses less on patrols and arrests than on re-engineering an entire
community to make it a harder target for criminals and a more attractive one for investors.
Free of charge, the training is presented at your facility or ours. All manuals are supplied and
copious examples are used throughout the training that lasts from 09h00 until 16h00 on Saturday
or weekdays. Alternative arrangements can be made as well that allows for training over the
course of 3 (three) evenings, from 19h00 – 21h00. Certificates are also issued to delegates.
The focus of the training is less about fighting crime and
far more on building safety. It is not of a physical nature
and delegates have overwhelmingly reported with
enthusiasm on the empowering nature of the course.
The training delivers cutting-edge research on
criminology and present delegates with the real causes of
crime, and no, UNEMPLOYMENT DOES NOT
CAUSE CRIME! If
it did, crime
prevention would be
very simple – we would just have to lock up all unemployed
persons. If poverty caused crime, then wealth would cause
honesty, and we would not know names like Brett Kebble,Glen Agliotti etc. During this training delegates will receive
in-depth information on the causes of crime (which most
police officers do not know) and they will receive a mind-
bending bouquet of safety and anti-crime strategies.
Delegates learn about the value of anti-graffiti work, how to prevent it from ever coming back to
an area/wall, how to organize paint-overs, plant anti-graffiti plants and in general remove this
link from the criminal chain, causing the rest of the chain to collapse.

After the graffiti segment of the training they are taken
on a whirlwind tour of some 30 strategies that will teach
them how to combat street crimes and drugs in their
area, safely, cheaply, effectively and in such a manner
that they need never fear about becoming victimized by
criminals.They will learn how to combat gangs, in a safe and
humane way, make their children safe at school, as well
as in the street. They will learn how to use the power of
religious groups to make it impossible for dealers to sell
drugs and how to cut off the funding to gangs.
As part of the training, they are exposed to indigenous
plants that can make it difficult, if not impossible, for
criminals to break into their homes, find out how to
start their own glass-recycling business (free of
charge), learn how traditional policing is done (and
what the CoCT is doing differently), learn how to hold
schools accountable for the safety of learners, and what
to do about vagrants and stray dogs.
