A lunchtime braai, arranged by the Hilton Community Neighbourhood Watch (HCNW) was held on 11th December at Cowan House in appreciation of the sterling work carried out by HCNW members, who have gone far beyond the call of duty in reducing crime in Hilton.
The HCNW was established in mid-2019 by members of Hilton SAPS and the Community, to counter rising crime in Hilton. The HCNW then established the Hilton Rapid Response (HRR) unit which comprises Hilton SAPS, volunteer members of the Community and most of the Armed Response Security companies operating in Hilton, who volunteer their services and time free to the HRR.
At the braai, Certificates of Appreciation were awarded, by uMngeni Mayor Chris Pappas, to Hilton SAPS, Knight Security Solutions, Red Alert, Magma Security, Winterskloof Tactical Surveillance Unit, Aliwal Security, Pmb Security, National Security, Bidvest Protea Coin (Mondi), Mi 7 National Group, Sompisi Protection Services, Commodore Defensive Strategies and uMngeni Community Safety Initiative (UCSI).
Certificates were also awarded to Mi 7 Emergency Medical Service (EMS), Midlands EMS and St Michael’s Ambulance Service for their volunteer services.
Every member of the HRR was also given a small gift as a token of appreciation.
The successes achieved by the HCNW and HRR are directly attributed to members of Hilton SAPS who lead and guide the process, followed by the Armed Response Security companies, emergency medical services and active members of the community.
This initiative is supported and appreciated by the Hilton Community.
A big ‘Thank you’ goes to Hilton Quarry SuperSpar who sponsored the food and drinks, to Cowan House who provided the venue and to Luke Volans of Servworx who sponsored the gifts.
