Minister Reagen Allen to launch Overstrand Rural Safety Unit

Tomorrow, 5 April 2023, Western Cape Minister of Police Oversight and Community Safety, Reagen Allen, will launch the much-anticipated Overstrand Rural Safety Unit (ORSU) in Hermanus.

This unit follows the very successful launch of the Swartland Rural Safety Unit (SRSU) during the latter part of 2022. This is yet another intervention that is guided by the Western Cape Safety plan which aim, is to reduce murders by half by 2029.

Minister Allen said: “I am looking forward to the launch of this unit. This is another layer in our efforts to ensure greater safety in our rural communities, particularly where both human and marine life can be protected. It is also another clear demonstration of the Western Cape Government’s commitment to creating safer communities throughout the province.”

Minister Allen will be joined by the Overstrand Executive Mayor Dr. Annelie Rabie and Deputy Executive Mayor, Lindile Ntsabo, the Executive Mayor Overberg District Sakkie Franken and various other dignitaries.
