![]() Seven mobile, branded kiosks are also positioned across the CBD to further reduce the level of crime.Īs a result, the CCID has successfully become the first respondent for incidents in the CBD, with a reaction time of under five minutes. These units were introduced in a pilot project in December 2015 and have proved to be so successful in behaviour modification that the system was rolled out to all officers on duty in 2016. All CCID PSOs are equipped with body-worn video (BWV) units. They can be found on foot and in vehicles, and are in constant radio contact with the CCID’s 24/7 control room. Seventy officers patrol the streets during the day and 60 at night. The most visible presence of the CCID in the Cape Town CBD is the bright green bibs and caps, with the easily identifiable CCID logo, that our PSOs wear. These PSOs are contracted via Iliso Protection Services and deployed around the clock to provide top-up services to those delivered by the CCID’s primary safety partners – the City of Cape Town’s Law Enforcement agency and the South African Police Service.ĬCID Safety & Security also works tirelessly alongside partners in the Community Police Forum, other improvement districts around the periphery of the CBD and neighbourhood watches close by to maintain the safe reputation of the Central City and surrounds. The work of the CCID’s Safety & Security department is a key reason the South African Police Service (Cape Town) regards the Cape Town Central City as the safest CBD in the country.įour full-time team members (a manager, an assistant manager and two night managers) oversee a team of around 270 public safety officers (PSOs).
