Ramsgate is now one of the safest holiday destinations in South Africa and proudly welcomes all holiday visitors to it’s beautiful village and blue flag beach! We have recorded a commendable 46% decline in residential burglary and 62% drop in theft since 2016. Under the leadership of our SAPS Sector Commander, and vice chair of the CPF, Constable Chantell Young, a combined effort between Ramsgate CPF, Margate SAPS Cluster task team, Wolf Security and Maser Security, we launched a number of special crime prevention operations across the Ramsgate precinct over the past five months in a focussed drive to arrest habitual criminals and clear the streets of prostitution, liquor abuse and general bylaw contraventions.   The crime prevention cluster comprising the South African Police Services, Ray Nkonyeni Municipal Protection Services and the Ramsgate Community Policing Forum, are deployed 24 hours a day, seven days a week throughout the holiday season. Additional resources are deployed to the beaches and coastal walkways and in the village and this year, special attention is being given to the strict enforcement of municipal bylaws. LAW ENFORCEMENT ON PATROL 24/7 Records of reported crimes indicate that despite the increased level of policing, unsuspecting holiday makers are targeted by criminals presented by opportunity, the result of which regrettably skews our exemplary record of recorded incidents. Our visitors are requested to secure their personal valuables and cell phones during their stay, keep their apartments locked while away on the beach and please don’t leave valuables in motor vehicles. Help us keep reported incidents to a minimum!  Residents and visitors can play a major part in keeping Ramsgate safe! There are 9 official early warning WhatsApp Group, Security Sectors for Ramsgate only. If you need to report suspicious activities or make calls for help to the WhatsApp group... read more

RCPF Newsletter

The past three months have heralded a new beginning for the Ramsgate Community Policing Forum on so many different levels. A Special General Meeting was held on the 30th July where a new management committee was elected, and the constitution and the financial year were amended for corporate governance and administrative convenience, necessary to manage the flow of funds from the Ray Nkonyeni Municipality. Your committee has been hard at work reviewing best practice and technology in order to determine what combination of systems and process will deliver the most effective crime prevention solutions for the investment and that process is well advanced. Your Ramsgate CPF office has finally been given a much needed facelift, thanks largely to the generous support from Buco Hardware Supplies, Printco Signage, Elmo Electrical, Reka Fire & Safety Margate and Wolf Security. Our Operations Controller Quinn Meechan has been ‘man down’ for many weeks having suffered damage to her lungs and airway. Luckily, she is under care of a specialist and the condition is being treated with rest and medication. We wish her a speedy recovery.   Operationally, the Ramsgate village hasn’t seen so much activity in a great many years. Under the leadership of our SAPS Sector Commander, and vice chair of the CPF, Chantell Young, a combined effort between Ramsgate CPF, Margate SAPS Cluster task team, Maser Security, Wolf Security and backup and support provided by Fidelity ADT, launched a number of special crime prevention operations across the Ramsgate precinct over the past few months.   We record a very special word of appreciation to all members of the SAPS and Security personnel who regularly participate and to the security companies who give of their vehicles and teams, so we can maintain a safer Ramsgate.              ... read more
