Mill Hill falls within Sector 2 of the Randburg Community Police Forum (CPF), of which we are an active member. Community members play a vital role in crime prevention by being informed, involved and pro-active in their communities and so contribute to ensuring a safe and secure environment.

Sector policing is a system in which a police station precinct (in our case Randburg SAPS) is divided into smaller manageable areas of operation called sectors (in our case Sector 2). Each sector has a manager (in our case Warrant Officer Hein van Heerden) whose job it is to familiarise him/herself with the area, its problems and its unique security requirements/challenges. Sector policing is aimed at preventing crime. In order to be effective, communication between the community and the sector management is a fundamental requirement.

The purpose of sector policing

• To perform targeted visible police patrols and ensure a rapid response to emergency calls. We have two dedicated police vehicles for Sector 2 that in emergencies residents can make direct contact with through the mobile numbers 071 675 7123 / 071 675 7117
• To address crime generators and investigate reported cases. If you are concerned about anything suspicious such as a car parked in a street for a period of time or people loitering in the street then call the sector vehicle.
• To provide a localised policing service to the community in accordance with their respective needs. If we are aware of specific issues in our suburb such as vagrants or vacant properties then we liaise with the police to address the problem.
