Chairperson Greg Olsen, vice-chairperson Ingrid Dinsmore, owner of EC Security Eugene Coetzee and secretary Peter Dinsmore stand outside with the newly installed security cameras on Melody Street.
Residents of Radiokop gathered in Melody Street for the launch of new and advanced neighbourhood security cameras.
Greg Olsen, chairperson of the Radiokop Resident’s Association welcomed everyone, especially Eugene Coetzee, owner of EC Security, and his team who made the installation of the cameras in the neighbourhood possible.
Olsen said, “Vice-chairperson, Ingrid Dinsmore’ s negotiations with security companies to install cameras had been taking place over several months and this outcome was a positive one for the neighbourhood, thanks to EC.”
The security camera plan had been in the pipeline since March 2015 and came to fruition when the cameras were installed on 25 May. Since then, Dinsmore said there has been a drop in suspicious cars, that residents suspect are responsible for drug dealing in the area.
Coetzee indicated they would install more cameras in the near future in order to improve the safety of residents dependent on support from the community. The resident’s association will communicate the requirements for future cameras with the residents in the near future.
Champagne and boerie rolls followed the official launch on 27 May and neighbourhood bonding followed, despite the chill of the evening.
