Law Enforcement records more than 12 000 arrests in a year

The City’s Law Enforcement Department made 12 069 arrests between July 2022 and June 2023

<div>In addition to the arrests, which represents an 89% increase compared to the previous year, the City’s Law Enforcement officers also recovered:</div><div><br></div><div>•<span style="white-space:pre;"> </span>168 firearms</div><div>•<span style="white-space:pre;"> </span>120 imitation firearms</div><div>•<span style="white-space:pre;"> </span>2 188 rounds of ammunition </div><div>•<span style="white-space:pre;"> </span>35 858,5 units of drugs</div><div>•<span style="white-space:pre;"> </span>and issued 289 701 fines and compliance notices</div><div><br></div><div>‘These are but a few statistical indicators of the work that our Law Enforcement Department gets through in a year. Add to that an average of nearly 24 000 service requests each month, and it becomes clear just how mammoth the workload is. We have a number of specialised units within the department, and it is not always possible to reflect on the contribution of each unit individually, but I commend the staff for these operational results. There are so many demands on our enforcement agencies, and it is not always plain sailing, but it is important to acknowledge their efforts. While our weekly reporting on statistics gives the public real-time insights into our operations, this annual view is a very important step to providing a more complete picture,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, Alderman JP Smith.</div><div><br></div><div>Law Enforcement Officers have the power to confiscate, arrest, issue compliance notices and fines, and shut down illegal operations where by-laws are infringed upon.</div><div><br></div><div>They also support the South African Police Service in terms of crime prevention, along with the City’s other enforcement agencies.</div><div><br></div><div>The Law Enforcement Department has a current staff complement of just over 3 500.</div><div><br></div><div>In addition, the Department recruited and trained 81 new Law Enforcement volunteers in the last financial year.</div><div><br></div><div>‘We continue to invest in our enforcement services, both the human resources, but also ongoing training and development, as well as the accompanying technology rollout to further expand our impact on the ground. The statistics show the return on these ongoing investments, but we are mindful of the many ongoing challenges on the enforcement environment, and so we are constantly looking to further improve our outputs, and work towards building safer communities,’ added Alderman Smith.</div><div><br><br></div><p><br></p><p><br></p>

Recreation and Parks distributes 3 000 trees and counting

The Department has hosted a series of tree planting activities and greening initiatives aimed at enhancing Cape Town’s urban landscape.

<div>Arbor Month is an annual celebration of trees and a reminder of the vital role they play in our environment. </div><div><br></div><div>The Recreation and Parks Department has hosted a series of tree planting activities and greening initiatives aimed at enhancing Cape Town’s urban landscape, taking the number of trees distributed and planted in communities since the start of the year to at least 3 000.</div><div><br></div><div>‘Arbor month is an opportunity to reflect on the importance of trees to our society, and the theme this year, which is “Forests and Health”, highlights the crucial connection between forests and human well-being. Not only do trees and forests provide clean air, but they beautify our surroundings and recreational spaces, providing a sense of tranquillity, and being close to nature. And, while Arbor month is special, our efforts to help trees take root continue all year round, as can be seen by the thousands of trees already distributed this year,’ said Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Health, Councillor Patricia Van der Ross. </div><div><br></div><div>Among the Arbor Month activities where the City collaborated with local communities are:</div><div><br></div><div><ul><li>The planting of six large Cocos plumosa (Queen palms) trees on 30 August at Van Niekerk Park in Bellville, which required heavy machinery and landscaper input.<br></li><li>Hosting a flagship event for National Arbor Month at the Langa Civic Hall on September 20, planting six Ficus rubignosa (Rusty fig) at the facility concluded the Langa Centenary 100 Trees Project, a significant initiative commemorating the 100th anniversary of Langa. The project involved planting 100 trees throughout Langa, symbolising growth, resilience, and a commitment to a sustainable future. These trees serve as a living tribute to the community's heritage and a means of improving the local environment. The project not only enhances the area’s green spaces, but also underscores the importance of the urban forest and community engagement in celebrating milestones and fostering a greener, healthier community.<br></li><li>On 20 September, 10 Tarchonanthus (Camphor bushes) trees were planted at Rohm Street, Goodwood with Goodwood Park Primary School to educate youth about trees while instilling a sense of pride in their contribution to a greener city.<br></li><li>During this year's Cape Green Day Expo, the Department showcased its services and distributed awareness materials about the City's green spaces.<br></li><li>Ahead of the exciting Bonsai Festival in October and to celebrate Arbor Month, the Bonsai Fraternity displayed their stunning bonsai creations at various City offices from Monday, September 18, through Friday, September 22, providing an opportunity to capture the beauty and learn about the passion and art involved in their cultivation.<br></li><li>In recognition of their outstanding contribution to the preservation and growth of Cape Town's urban forests, the City is also proud to announce the Arbor City Partnership Award presented to the “TreeKeepers” by the National Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Environment (DFFE). Their dedication and passion for tree care and education have made the city a greener and more sustainable place.<br></li><li>Another significant highlight of this year's celebration is the City Council's adoption of the Urban Forest Policy, marking a crucial step towards a greener and more sustainable future. This policy underscores the City's commitment to preserving and enhancing urban forests, outlining strategies for tree planting, preservation and maintenance throughout Cape Town.</li></ul></div><div><br></div><div>‘These activities reflect the richness of Cape Town's natural heritage and the City’s commitment to planting a diverse range of tree species to promote biodiversity and climate resilience. As we mark National Arbor Month, we reaffirm our commitment to nurturing and expanding these essential green spaces in Cape Town, and we invite residents to join us on this journey by planting a tree, learning about our local flora, and contributing towards a greener and more sustainable Cape Town,’ added Councillor Van der Ross.</div><div><br><br></div><p><br></p>
