 The advent of a two-way radio system has helped the Obs Neigbhourhood Watch to step up patrols in the area. The patrols, which are coordinated by James Cowley and Dale Trow, have resulted in greatly increased surveillance in the Red block in particular (from Rochester to Station, above Lower Main). Our Sector Manager, Inspector Nel, reports a decrease in crime in this area, with criminals tending to move to other areas of Obs.

 On 27 January 1995 the South African Police Service Act, 1995 (Act No 68 of 1995) was promulgated.
On 27 January 2005 the SAPS celebrated its 10th Anniversary as a service to the South African Democracy. As of that year 27 January is celebrated as National Police Day.
National Police Days are also celebrated in countries across the world, such as Russia, the USA, Singapore, England, Wales and Australia, annually giving recognition to the services rendered by their respective policing agencies.
The National Police Day in South Africa has been declared to signify the date and anniversary of the establishment of the SAPS, to give recognition to the service rendered by our members and to honour those who have paid with their lives to protect and serve all people in South Africa.
