City agencies arrest 262 suspects in a weekCity agencies arrest 262 suspects in a week<img alt="" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/PublishingImages/By-laws%20and%20policies%20Header.jpg" style="BORDER:0px solid;" /><p>​Officers also issued nearly 70 000 fines for various transgressions. Meanwhile, the City’s Public Emergency Communication Centre (PECC) recorded hundreds of calls linked to inter-personal violence. Read more below:      <br></p><p>​‘It has been a busy week, most notably over the long weekend when many of our staff members spent their time patrolling public recreational facilities. Our beaches were incredibly busy, but no major incidents were reported. As expected, alcohol consumption proved problematic once more. We will know in the next day how much alcohol was confiscated, once our Liquor Enforcement Unit has logged all of the items received at our pound. I’m also very concerned about the increase in pedestrian accidents over the long weekend, as well as the many cases of assault and domestic violence that were reported to the PECC. With another long weekend in the offing, I renew the appeal to the public to please celebrate responsibly, whether on the road, at the beach, or at home,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, Alderman JP Smith.</p><div> </div><div>STATISTICAL SUMMARY<br></div><div><br></div><div><ul><li>Cape Town Traffic Services held integrated roadblocks, vehicle checkpoints and speed control operations in the week of 19 December 2022 to 25 December 2022.
