The following security providers were present at this morning’s meeting, NYPD, 24/7, SAMBU, Fidelity, Core ADT,and CSS, CHUBB was absent. The operation on Friday night was very successful and a big thank you to those CPF members that attended, It was indeed an eye opening experience. Thank you to Sushil for the supply of our reflective jackets and to Sean for our identity cards. It was a pleasure to work with the police and to see that all the security providers also pulled their weight, not only with personnel but also with the numerous vehicles at their disposal.

Johannesburg City Parks launched online Customer Satisfaction Surveys on the 1^st of December last year.

The main objective behind the project is to get customer feedback on issues related to Parks, Conservation areas, Street trees and Cemeteries. Previously the surveys were conducted manually by going to different facilities but a decision was taken to launch online survey as way to try to reach as many customers as possible. Feedback from these survey helps us to improve services.

This morning’s briefing addressed a very important issue which is creating a problem for our security partners especially in the areas of Parkhurst and Park Town West, parties or functions, by residents, are been held from which cars are stolen during such event. 

Upon further investigation it seems as if the hosts of these events/parties are not arranging with their security providers that a guarding service which is often available is not been utilised, in fact in most instances the security providers are the last to know.
